Yelmer Buurman: “I am very happy that Trust Team Arden has chosen me as their racedriver. I am grateful to Christian Horner and Michel Perridon for this chance and I like to thank our new sponsors Riwal and Argos Oil for their support. Trust Team Arden is a famous team with a proven track record and a lot of fans in Holland. The test in Dubai went quite well although we could have ended higher in the rankings. I am confident that I can help the team forward and I will do everything to surprise our competitors. I will be very disappointed it we are not a frequent podium visitor in 2008.”
