Jarno Trulli about Scuderia Ferrari
“Everyone expects a more competitive Ferrari. If it can win the title, I don’t know. It is always difficult to start from afar and present yourself as a winning side, although the team has all the characteristics and potential to do so […]. I believe that Mattia Binotto like everyone else has focused on this technical regulation revolution to be able to get closer to the great Mercedes and Red Bull teams. I think they can do it, but it won’t be easy”.
Jarno Trulli on Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz
“I have always said that Charles Leclerc was a good driver and is a very good driver. I have always praised Carlos Sainz that he is a good professional. The two drivers have different characteristics. They are one of the best line-ups in the sport, I think Leclerc was a bit downsized by Sainz who proved to be as good as Leclerc”.
Jarno Trulli on the “young” drivers
“There are some interesting drivers in Formula 1. Besides Verstappen, we have an excellent Leclerc, Sainz, Russell. Let’s not forget Lando Norris who did very well last year ”.
