前几天的Q AND A

Before the announcement regarding Bourdais Tonio spoke to grandprix.it regarding the developments within Toro Rosso."I don't know if it's true (that they will announce Bourdais tomorrow). Anyway, I knew this possibility and I'm negotiating with other teams, so it's not a big change for me." Liuzzi didn't want to confirm the name of the team he is negotiating with, but it could be Williams, whose team principal has always been a big fan of the Italian driver and offered him some years ago one of his first tests in an F1 car. Tonio also commented the debut of his new team-mate Sebastian Vettel: "I think he did nothing special. Maybe they thought they will put him in the car and he would be half a second faster than me, instead it was quite clear it was the contrary. Vettel is obviously a rookie, but he raced in Indianapolis and he did lots of miles in BMW, more than the mileage we did at Toro Rosso. I don't think his was a great debut, but of course he can improve a lot here." Liuzzi doesn't think Berger and Tost's decision to fire Speed was just due to his performance: "Their policy was quite particular and they decided this policy already before the beginning of the season. I don't think they were convinced we would be half a second slower than Red Bull. I think there was something else behind it, because they were pushing on us already at the end of last season. It was quite clear, that's why I decided to look elsewhere and the same did Scott. Now we are at this point." "It has been for sure a difficult season, because we were expecting more from the car. From our expectations, this should be a car able to fight for the points at every race, instead it showed not to be reliable, fast and up to the development. This made everything more difficult. Then the atmosphere inside the team wasn't the best one, because many times the drivers were accused unfairly, to hide the problems of the car. But the team is allowed to manage this as they like. They improved a lot from the Minardi times, they keep improving, but to become a winning team there is still a long way to go."
