Vergne predicts a great season for Toro Rosso
For the Frenchman, the STR7 is already at a good level
di Stephen17 February 2012
Jean-Eric Vergne predicts a good season for Toro Rosso.
Alongside Daniel Ricciardo, the French rookie is part of Red Bull's young driver program, like the "old" Algersuari and Buemi.
However, the two juniors are vying for Mark Webber's seat in 2012, and both recorded almost the same times on the STR7 at Jerez.
And according to the French, the Ferrari-powered car promises a lot.
“We hope to be one of the strongest mid-table teams,” he said.
But at the same time Vergne says he is waiting for the Barcelona tests.
“Barcelona could be different to the cold and really abrasive surface of Jerez. But I don't think there will be many differences between the teams."
“Jerez showed us that we have a good base.”
