Trulli: We can beat Ferrari in manufacturers'.

Toyota's Jarno Trulli reckons that the Cologne based squad can overhaul Ferrari to take third place in the constructors' championship.

Toyota have scored 80 points to date this season and are currently ten behind Ferrari, who were of course, effectively 'gifted' 18 following the farce that was the United States Grand Prix. Trulli believes they can definitely do it to finish 'best of the rest' after Renault and McLaren-Mercedes.

"Our pace has looked good recently so our target for the last three flyaway races is to challenge Ferrari for third place in the constructors' championship," confirmed the Italian.

"We are only ten points behind and we can definitely manage it if we continue to push hard. To come from near the back of the grid last year to the position we are in now is an amazing achievement and it's down to a fantastic performance by the whole team."

As for the Brazilian GP itself, Trulli finished 12th last year, on only his second outing with Toyota and was eighth in 2003. His best finish to date at Interlagos came in 2000, when he was fourth for Jordan, a repeat of which would be well timed.

"The Brazilian Grand Prix is a race that I have always enjoyed," added Trulli. "I always enjoy racing at technically demanding tracks, and Interlagos is certainly a challenge with a mix of low and high speed sections and some other things that make it quite complicated. I like the first corner a lot, and it is one of only three anti-clockwise circuits on the calendar, which can make the race tiring on the neck.

"Most of all, I remember the torrential rain from the 2003 race. That made life really tricky..."
