Jamie looking to bounce back at Monza

Jaime Alguersuari is hoping to put the disappointment he suffered at Spa behind him and consolidate on an improved performance in Belgium at this weekend's Italian GP.

The Spaniard finished in tenth spot at Spa, but after the race was handed a 20-second penalty for cutting a chicane to pass Tonio Liuzzi, demoting him to 13th spot.

The youngster admits that the loss of the point that tenth spot brought came as a blow but that he was looking to learn from the incident and move on.

"By now, I've got over the disappointment of losing my point for tenth place in Spa, even if I never expected to get that sort of penalty as I did not make up any places as a result of the move I made on track, nor did I make up much time," he told Toro Rosso's official website.

"But it was a very difficult situation to evaluate given the track conditions at the time. But it happened, so you get over it and move on.

"In general, I was quite happy with my performance in Belgium, because I did my best and that will be the same philosophy this weekend in Monza," he added.

Monza is a track that has served the 20-year-old well in the past and he is hopeful that it will continue to do so come this weekend.

"Monza was always a good track for me when I raced here in the junior formulas, getting some strong results and in my second year of driving a Formula 1 car at the circuit I expect a lot more than I did last year," he explained.

"My initial target will be to make sure I qualify in the top fifteen at least. The races at Monza are always awesome, both to drive and to watch, because of the high speeds and the fact this is the one circuit where you can really slipstream other cars, which is an interesting experience, so I am keen to see how our car works on this track," the Toro Rosso man added.
