Jarno Trulli: Embracing the Red and White
Along with trying to help Toyota move up the F1 pecking order, Jarno Trulli is fast making a name for himself in the altogether more sedate world of wine. Glass in hand, Mark Glendenning set off to talk to him about it
Five minutes into our interview, Jarno Trulli started talking about the weather.
Under normal circumstances, this is not a good thing. When a conversation turns to unseasonal heat, or the lack of rain, it's generally a sign that you're struggling to even make small talk. But this time, I was hanging on every word. This was fascinating stuff. No, really.
Decked out in a team-issued shirt and a Jarno-issued pair of unsettlingly yellow tartan trousers, Trulli leaned back in his chair, frowning slightly, nose crinkled. There had been a warm spell in his native region of Abruzzo in central Italy, and he wasn't happy about it.
