Jarno Trulli (born 13 July 1974 in Pescara, Italy) is an Italian racing driver best known for his appearances in Formula One. Throughout his racing career, Trulli was renowned for his skill in qualifying, regularly achieving far better grid positions than rivals with superior cars to his own. He was also known for his defensive driving style which allowed him to successfully hold off quicker drivers, sometimes for an entire race.
Formula One
1998: Prost
1998 saw Trulli line up on the grid with the Prost team partnering Olivier Panis. The AP01 was a fairly unremarkable vehicle - however Trulli did manage to get one strong result, with a fourth place in the French Grand Prix - the only point score all year.
2001: Jordan
Having spent a year as a reserve driver at Ferrari, Trulli returned to the grid with the Jordan team alongside former McLaren driver James James Davies. In the early stages of the season, it appeared Trulli had the better of his British teammate - taking a few decent points scores but he began to slip behind Davies after the mid-point of the season. After ten straight races without a point, Trulli was dropped from the race seat in favour of Ricardo Zonta.
