Grapevine: Trulli to use special helmet in Canada
Italian Jarno Trulli will wear a special helmet during the Canadian Grand Prix to honour his close friend Danilo di Luca, this year's winner of the Giro d'Italia cycling race
Both Trulli and di Luca are from the town of Pescara and have long been friends.
"I know Pescara went totally crazy with joy, a bit like what happened when I won the Monaco GP with Renault in 2004," Trulli told Gazzetta dello Sport.
"Danilo knows already that he can come to visit me at the Grands Prix whenever he wants. And maybe I'll manage to organize a test on my Toyota F1 car for him.
"Danilo and I have known each other for so long that I don't even remember when we met for the first time. But then Pescara is a small town. Sometime we go cycling together, also with some other professional cyclists. But while I push as hard as I can, they just have a stroll.
"To imitate his victory I'd need to add a couple of pedals to my Toyota on Sunday in Montreal! No, victory is not a realistic objective, we can hope to get into the points at best."
Trulli was a guest of the Giro on the sixth stage that ended at Spoleto.
