Ralf's troublesome Toyota
TF105 difficult to drive

(GMM) Ralf Schumacher is struggling at the wheel of his first Toyota F1 car.

The German, about a second per lap on average slower than teammate Jarno Trulli in testing, said understeer is 'not ideal' for his driving style.

''Simply, it's difficult for me to drive,'' Schumacher agreed.

Ralf, 29, spent a bit of time spinning at Jerez last week, and also admitted to 'trying too hard.'

The TF105 will be fitted with its Melbourne-spec aerodynamic package at Barcelona this week. Schumacher said an improvement would be 'appreciated.'

Toyota's Jarno Trulli, meanwhile, left Jerez (Spain) late last week with 'flu.
