Jarno Trulli

Jarno Trulli (Born on July 13, 1974 in Pescara, Abruzzo) is an Italian Formula One auto racing driver currently driving for the Toyota team.

His parents were motorsport fans and named their son after Jarno Saarinen, the Finnish Grand Prix motorcycle racing champion who had been killed at Monza in 1973. This Finnish forename caused a certain amount of confusion when he first entered Formula One, with many not initially realizing that he was Italian. His father’s enthusiasm also meant that, like many successful racers, he was involved in karting from an early age.
