Dropped Trulli to race for Toyota at China?
Wed 15-09 2004
Yesterday Renault driver, Jarno Trulli was officially dropped from the team. This comes after many days of rumours and speculation of former World Champion; Jacques Villeneuve would be joining the team for testing at Silverstone. These rumours became a reality when the Italian driver was told he will not race in a Renault car for the rest of the season, and the team took on Villeneuve. Team Managing Director, Flavio Briatore, announced, "We have reached an agreement for Jacques to test for the team at Silverstone on Wednesday and Thursday. This test might lead to Jacques joining the team for the final three races of the season beginning next week at the Chinese Grand Prix." After the two days of testing, and the team will make a decision on whether the French-Canadian driver will make his return at China, or Friday driver, Frank Montagny will take the place.
The tension between team Managing Director Flavio Briatore, has become intense over the season, with Briatore and Trulli exchanging words on many occasions. Brought on particularly Trulli performance at the French Grand Prix, where Trulli quite easily let Rubens Barrichello pass him on the last corner of the race, costing him and the team, a podium finish. Trulli was constantly expressing his concern of the team, thinking they were stunting his performance and benefiting Fernando Alonso’s car. But now with his departure from the team, where does this leave Trulli?
It was believed, that Toyota would have announced that they would be taking on Trulli next season to partner new signing Ralf Schumacher at the China Grand Prix. But with Trulli’s exit from the Mild Seven team, it brings him into contention for a drive as a replacement for performance ailing driver, Ricardo Zonta, for the rest of the season.
