Ralf says TF107 a big step forward
German Ralf Schumacher believes the new Toyota TF107 is a big step forward compared to last year's car
In the wake of Jarno Trulli's comments about Toyota's problems during pre-season testing, Schumacher has admitted he has been surprised by how well the new car is working.
Italian Trulli said last week that the team have had so many problems during testing that he has been unable to judge the potential of the new car.
Schumacher, however, reckons Toyota are very much on the right track with the TF107.
"We're really going in the right direction," Schumacher told Hungarian website A5.hu during a media dinner at Jerez last week.
"There are still some things to come, but it's the same for every team, so we'll have to wait and see for the first few races to see where we are."
"We had some issues with the 106, which have been taken care with the 107. Aerodynamically, mechanically, we've invented some new things, we've just optimised the package and it has worked out well so far on the tracks we've been to."
"It's really working better than I've expected to. It's a big step."
