Lauda hopes for more points

Niki Lauda is optimistic Jaguar can build on the long-awaited points they scored two weeks ago in Belgium when the grand prix circus heads to Italy this weekend.

Eddie Irvine scored a sixth-placed finish at Spa-Francorchamps – Jaguar’s first points since the opening race of the season in Australia – and the Milton Keynes-based squad followed that up by topping the timesheets at recent Monza tests.
