Vergne optimistic with his Toro Rosso

After Daniel Ricciardo, his teammate, it?s the turn of Jean-Eric Vergne to comment on his first laps with the new car from the team Faenza. If the 2012 season had been difficult to say the least, the new year promises to be better for the 22-year-old Frenchman: “My feeling is positive, but if you go back a year we thought the car was good, we were happy and look where we ended up. The main goal we have is to understand the car well. We have many options and many new things that we want to explore as much as possible. I'm confident the car will be a step forward, but we'll probably have to wait a bit to fully understand it. »

JEV is also counting on the experience accumulated during 2012 to put it to the benefit of the Italian team: ?I feel like I'm a better driver, with a lot more experience and my understanding of the car is better than this time last year. Everything has become much more automatic, and that?s a really nice feeling. »
