Toro Rosso happy with race finish

Liuzzi came home in 14th position, ahead of the Honda of Jenson Button, after struggling for pace during most of the weekend due to Toro Rosso's lack of testing ahead of the first race of the season in Australia.

Despite finishing over one lap down, Berger was happy Liuzzi managed to complete the race.

Liuzzi's teammate Scott Speed retired from the race after going off due to a puncture.

"In one respect I am quite happy, because we got one car through to the finish, even though we did very little pre-season testing, while the other car had a puncture, the cause of which we will have to investigate," said Berger.

"With our late start, to get it all together for the race is a big compliment to the team.

"Tonio drove a good consistent race with no mistakes. We knew we did not have the right set-up to get the most out of the car.

"We did the most we could with what we had, the cars ran reliably and consistently and we will get a better understanding of the car at the next test and then we can improve it."
