Trulli happy with post-Schumacher Toyota

Jarno Trulli has made it clear that he does not miss his former Toyota team0mate Ralf Schumacher.

The Italian was partnered at the Japanese squad with Schumacher for three seasons until 2007. His current team-mate is German newcomer Timo Glock.

“I think I am listened to a little bit more now,” Trulli is quoted as saying by the Cologne newspaper Express.

Trulli finished fourth at the recent Malaysian Grand Prix; a rare positive result following the difficult 2006 and 2007 seasons.

“The car is now the way I want it to be and we are exactly where I wanted us to be,” Trulli explained. “Behind BMW we are the fourth power,” he claimed.

“I will not criticise Ralf Schumacher,” Trulli continued to the Swiss publication Motorsport Aktuell, “but he had his opinions about the kind of racing car he wanted.”

The TF108, however, is less to Schumacher successor Glock`s liking, as he comments that Trulli has a “really very unique” driving style.
