Liuzzi encouraged by HRT progress

A few hours before the first tests in China, Vitantonio Liuzzi returned to the improvement in the performance of the HRT. If there is still work to be done, the F111 no longer seems so far from the Virgin MVR-02. The Italian driver also thinks he will be able to tickle Timo Glock and Jérôme d?Ambrosio. ?Before the race, we had never completed the distance of a race, underlines Liuzzi. We did as many laps as the others in the first half-day of testing. It is important that we understand the weaknesses of the car. I think there is a good chance that we will improve. It will just take time because Geoff Willis has to work on development. But we have already given a direction and it is good that everyone learns how to work better and give a good rhythm to the car. »

Vitantonio Liuzzi remains optimistic about the team?s ability to ensure its development. “I am sure we will grow this year, He notes. I don't know if we will grow as much as the others or more, but I'm sure we will grow. Now is not the time to fall asleep. If I decided to participate in this project, it is because there was a plan and a future. We are not scheduled to sleep or relax, we have to improve and fight against our competitors. We want to show that we can do a better job than last year. »
