Deliverance: Interview with Jarno Trulli
Even taking Fernando Alonso's dominance into account, it is fair to say Toyota have been the biggest surprise of the season so far, and Jarno Trulli has spearheaded the Japanese squad's challenge. After being sacked by Renault last year, the Italian has needed just three races to silence his critics with his race pace. Adam Cooper talked to Trulli about his season so far
While Fernando Alonso has been the undoubted star of the season so far, his former teammate Jarno Trulli has run him pretty close, both on the track and in terms of the boost to his reputation. Indeed the Italian has probably made the bigger progress, in terms of from where he started.
What a difference six months make. When Renault booted him out in September last year, Trulli didn't appear to be in great shape. A brilliant start to the season, including that memorable Monaco win, fizzled out in acrimony as he began to struggle to come to terms with the R24. Was he in some way shafted by Flavio Briatore? Did he suffer a loss of confidence, or was it a combination of factors? There are different theories.
