Jarno Trulli : biography

13 July 1974 –

Jarno Trulli (born July 13, 1974 in Pescara, Abruzzo) is a former Formula One racing driver from Italy. He was a regular in Formula One from 1997 to 2011, driving for Minardi, Prost, Jordan, Renault, Toyota and Lotus Racing. He won the 2004 Monaco Grand Prix for Renault, his only Grand Prix victory. After Toyota pulled out of the sport, following the 2009 season, having received no offers from any of the remaining teams, he signed up to race for Lotus Racing in 2010, which was rebranded Team Lotus in 2011. Trulli had re-signed with the rebranded Caterham F1 team for 2012, but was released from his contract prior to the start of the season, to be replaced by Vitaly Petrov.

Helmet

Trulli’s original helmet design was white with a blue shape around the visor with a blue circle in the top and a green J with a red T in the sides. A ring around the blue circle was incorporated when he raced at Jordan and Renault, being coloured after the team’s main sponsor. In 2004 his helmet changed from white to chromed silver and the shape, the J and the T became chromed with black outline. Later, in his first Toyota years the top became red and was added a white ring around the red circle. Finally in 2008 the helmet turned red with the J and the T of the original colours (and white outline) plus a white line on the chin area. From his Lotus years, the helmet design remained intact, with the change of the shades of colour from chromed to normal shades (the chromed silver becomes white).http://img293.imageshack.us/img293/8536/evolucaotrullieg0.jpghttp://www.f1fanstore.com/files/1894786/uploaded/HJT2009_F1_Helmet_Jarno_Trulli_2009_d.jpghttp://www.yallaf1.com/wp-content/gallery/2011-formula-1-driver-helmets/trulli-helmet.jpg
