Toro Rosso driver Jaime Alguersuari happy with 2011 Italian Grand Prix results – Formula 1 news
Toro Rosso driver Jaime Alguersuari has said that he is happy with his race results in the 2011 Italian Grand Prix held on Sunday, September 11 at the legendary Monza racetrack.
Alguersuari admitted that he was surprised with his car’s pace during the race in Italy. He added that he is pleased with what he has done throughout the 2011 Monza race weekend.
The Spaniard did not have a good qualifying round, but he impressed a lot during Sunday’s race. After putting all of his efforts, he ended up at the seventh position ahead of Force India’s Paul di Resta, who finished his race in the eighth spot.
Talking to reporters, Alguersuari said, “Getting this great result at our home race, also makes it extra special. We need to keep on working like this and try and improve our qualifying performance on Saturday. If we do that, I think we can finish in the
points on a regular basis.”
The 21-year-old driver is happy to score some points for his team at the 2011 Italian Grand Prix. He further added that whenever he starts his race from the back of the field, he ends his run with some points.
On the other hand, his teammate Sebastien Buemi mentioned that he was disappointed with the way his Italian Grand Prix came to an end in the very first lap of the race.
The Swiss driver added, “If that had not happened, maybe I could have finished ninth or eighth. But while tenth is therefore a bit disappointing, losing out to Senna right at the end, when he was on the Soft tyre and I was on the Medium, it's time to look
ahead and think about doing better in two weeks time in Singapore.”
The team driver started his Italian Grand Prix from the 16th position on the grid and finished his run in the tenth spot.
Let’s see how Toro Rosso perform in the last stages of the 2011 Formula 1 season following the successful Italian GP.
