Trulli aims to bounce back

Trulli, who scored his maiden grand prix win in Monaco in May, somersaulted out of the British Grand Prix and lost a podium finish in the French race on the final lap. The Italian says he is fully recovered from his Silverstone shunt and raring to get back to racing.

"The car did an excellent job protecting me, and I felt fine immediately after the race," said Trulli. "I just want to get back in the car, and put in a more positive weekend than we had in Silverstone. We didn't achieve the performance we wanted in the race, and that was a disappointment, so we must step up and take the fight to our immediate competitors.

"I am definitely looking forward to arriving in Germany. I have always enjoyed racing at Hockenheim, ever since I was in German Formula 3, and even since the changes, it is a circuit I enjoy.

"It is technical again, because although most of the corners are low speed, you really need to concentrate on good performance through them and also responsiveness through the quicker sections, so the correct compromise can be quite difficult to find. Of course, I scored my first podium there for Renault in 2003."
