Not the best of days for Toro Rosso

By on

The Scuderia Toro Rosso had a difficult start of the Italian Grand Prix weekend. Sebastian Vettel complained of the lack of pace of the car and home driver Tonio Liuzzi suffered from an electrical problem in the afternoon. The team is working hard now to improve the car for tomorrow's qualifying session.

Sebastian Vettel (STR2-04)
"We were quite happy with the early runs this morning, but after that the day seemed to get more difficult. Of course the track conditions are very different to last week when we had quite a good test session here. That was actually my first test session in this car and certainly, every lap helps. But now we have to concentrate on this weekend and hopefully we will be able to work out what to do to get more pace out of the car."
First Practice Session
Best lap 1.25.439, pos. 20th, 25 laps
Second Practice Session
Best lap 1.25.459, pos. 18th, 36 laps

Tonio Liuzzi (STR2-03)
"Overall this was a very difficult day. Since the morning session we had a problem with the car reacting strangely in the corners, with a bit of an imbalance between right and left turns. We never found the right set up despite changing several things on the car. I continued to struggle in the afternoon, when I also had an electrical problem which meant I had to stop before the end and before doing a run on new tyres, so we are lacking a bit of data."
First Practice Session
Best lap 1.25.762, pos. 22nd, 25 laps
Second Practice Session
Best lap 1.25.567, pos. 20th, 26 laps
