Trulli eyes return to points in Canada

The Toyota driver had finished in the points in three of the first four races of the season, but then wound up tenth in Turkey and 13th in Monte Carlo.

Trulli reckons those results do not reflect Toyota's real form, and he is optimistic he will be in the top eight again in Montreal.

"I've never really had so much luck in Montreal and last year wasn't a nice race for me because of Robert Kubica's accident, so I expect a more positive weekend this time," he said in a team preview.

"We have a completely different package compared to Monaco and I'm confident we can get a better result. The weather and traffic made things difficult for me in Monaco but I know we have a much better package than the result shows.

"My goal is to return to the points and I think we have a good chance of doing that."

Teammate Timo Glock is also looking forward to a positive race in Canada, scene of his maiden grand prix four years ago.

"I will never forget my first Grand Prix in 2004, when I finished seventh in Canada," he said. "It was an amazing experience and I am very proud of my two points on my debut. I also drove on the same track in 2005 in Champ Car and I finished second, in fact I almost won the race but second was still my best result of the season.

"So far Montreal has been a great track for me and I have a good record there so hopefully I can get another positive result; certainly I believe we have a car which is capable of scoring points."
