Jarno won many World and Italian kart titles and Benetton boss, Flavio
Briatore paid for him to enter into German Formula Three midway through 1995,
where he won the remaining two races of the season for the KMS team.

Continuing on the same way in 1996, he easily took the title. His Formula One
debut came in 1997, when once again, Flavio Briatore stepped in. Tarso
Marques, the driver for Minardi was to be replaced, and Jarno took the drive.
Racing in Australia, he finished 9th after starting from 17th on the grid,
but the season was hampered by mechanical failure, and lack of power.

Marques returned for the French Grand Prix, and Jarno moved to Prost, after
Olivier Panis was injured at Montreal. He finished fourth in the German Grand
prix, and shocked everyone by leading for more than half the race at Austria
before his engine blew. He signed for Prost in 1998, and his best finish was
sixth in Belgium.

The 99 season didn't see him fare much better although towards the end of the
season there were some strong qualifying performances. Sadly, the engines'
unreliability stopped him from proving what was so evident, that he had the
talent, drive and passion that is necessary to succeed.

Eddie Jordan could see this and signed the young Italian to replace the
retiring Damon Hill to partner Heinz-Harald Frentzen for the 2000 season.
Here he put in some very strong drives, the only other driver that wasn't in
a McLaren or a Ferrari to take a front row grid position throughout the
entire year. However due to incidents involving other drivers or reliability
problems with the EJ10,Jarno just couldn't manage to turn theses strong
starts into point scoring finishes.

The 2001 championship produced a year of constant failures despite strong
qualifying performances. Switching places with Giancarlo Fisichella at
Renault for 2002, Jarno had hoped that he will finally get the opportunity to
show the talent everyone knows he has. He finished the season with nine
points overall, five behind teammate Jenson Button, the best results being
fourth placed finishes in Monaco and Italy.

2003 saw Button leave the team and replaced by up and coming star Fernando
Alonso. Despite finishing eighth in the 2003 championship and feeling
slightly overshadowed by his teammate, Jarno Trulli started the 2004 in style.

Trulli's 2004 season can divided neatly into two. The first part of the
season ran from the Australian to French Grand prix in which Trulli excelled.
The second part of his season was Silverstone to Monza where Trulli simply
looked out of his depth in the sport.

It is hard to explain how a driver that dominated the Monaco Grand Prix from
Pole Position in May could be sacked by his team a few short months later
after failing to show any pace in a reasonable Renault package. But this is
what happened.

Renault made clear mid-season that Trulli would not be with the team in 2005.
Despite a Pole Position at Spa Francorchamps, his relationship with former
manager and team boss Flavio Briatore deteriorated. Following the Italian
Grand Prix Trulli was released from his contract and joined Toyota for the
final two races of the season.

Trulli has a new career with Toyota for 2005 and despite a dreadful time with
Renault in 2004, he still managed to finish in sixth position in the
championship. If Trulli can race at his peak with Toyota, then the Italian
will do great things with the German based team. If not, he will struggle for
points.
