Toro Rosso struggling for balance

By on

It was a difficult day for the Scuderia Toro Rosso at Silverstone today. Scott Speed had a good drive and thinks the team has made a step forward, but Tonio Liuzzi struggled for balance and believes there is still a lot of work today during tomorrow's third free practice.

Scott Speed (STR2-04)
"We were running all the time with a lot of fuel on board, so we should not read too much into the lap times, or at least I think we are better than they make us look. We worked on the usual tyre comparison. We were able to get a lot of laps covered today which is good and a step forward compared to this time last week in France. The track here is good to drive, even if the wind always complicates life."
First Practice Session
Best lap 1.23.854, pos. 19th, 20 laps
Second Practice Session
Best lap 1.22.840, pos. 18th, 42 laps

Tonio Liuzzi (STR2-03)
"A tough day as we were struggling with the balance on the car. Because of this, the fact that the wind is changing direction in the corners is making life more difficult. We are trying our best to improve the set up, but we still have a lot to do. In France we saw we lacked speed and so we could have predicted it would be another difficult weekend here, as Silverstone is a high downforce circuit, where aero efficiency is even more important than in Magny Cours."
First Practice Session
Best lap 1.24.154, pos. 21st, 23 laps
Second Practice Session
Best lap 1.23.105, pos. 20th, 35 laps
