Italian driver Jarno Trulli is ready to go this weekend at the German Grand Prix after his big shunt in Silverstone. The Italian had a big accident after a suspension failure at the British Grand Prix 20 laps from the end of the race.

HOwever, this has not diminish Trulli's desire for driving an F1 car and he is looking forward to get behind the wheel again at Hockenheim:

"The car did an excellent job protecting me, and I felt fine immediately after the race. 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." He said.

After scoring his first podium with Renault last year th this track the Italian is looking forward to a track that has always gone well for him:
”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. There is a big physical challenge with the heat which is a good test and, of course, I scored my first podium there for Renault in 2003.” He added.
He is wary of making race result predictions as every race has proven to be different teams the ones that challenge Ferrari:
“Predictions are becoming so hard to make - we really have to wait until Friday in order to judge where we stand, once we have tried the tyres. Getting that choice right will be absolutely critical, as it seems that each weekend, it is a different Michelin team challenging Ferrari: for this race, we will be working hard to ensure it is us so that we can consolidate our championship position. We have updates to the engine and the aerodynamics, and they will definitely help us with these objectives.” He concluded.
