Trulli magnificent
Jarno Trulli has taken some criticism in recent years, but last Sunday's podium in France was the highlight of what has been a generally great season for the Italian veteran. Adam Cooper spoke to the Toyota driver
Magny-Cours 2004 was a defining moment in the career of Jarno Trulli, just weeks after his win in Monaco, where he held off the advances of Jenson Button.
The Italian was running in third place in the French GP, and since team-mate and pole man Fernando Alonso had lost the lead to Michael Schumacher, a double podium finish would have been most welcome for Flavio Briatore in front of Renault's top brass.
