I think Jarno was underrated, but quite frankly his particular career has run out of steam. I've said this before, but in the flyaways at the end of last season (Si, Jp, Ko, In, AD, Bz) he did not finish a race ahead of Kovalainen, qualify ahead of Kovalainen or set a faster race lap than Kovalainen.
I am hearing fresh rumours in the PR and management field that Trulli will be looking for a new job before too long, more than likely before the first race of the season....
http://www.caterhamf1.com/news/2012/vitaly-petrov-joins-caterham-f1-team Trullis now gone no Italians starting the season, how times change
So any italians in GP2 should probably start looking for some italian sponsors for an easy method to the grid! And the first time there's no italian drivers since 1970
Disagree, Petrov wasn't exactly a shining star at Renault, and Trulli helped develop the car, it will be much more suited to him and Heikki
Be interesting to see how Caterham cope with the height difference with their remaining Hobbit and Petrov.
Well, Jos, Trulli is a good driver while Petrov is a more aggressive risk taker. I think Caterham intend to go racing this year and that therefore they've made a good decision? I also think they can rely on Kovaleinen to continue the development and bring in some points. Let's keep an eye and judge after a few races.
I stand in the middle here - I agree its time for Truli to go but don't really see that Petrov has much to offer
My thoughts exactly. So much young talent to choose from but, once again, the bloke with a the suitcase full of dollars get the drive. I wonder what people like Gary Paffet and Oliver Turvey make of Petrov dropping into a full race seat. I hope Heikki spanks his bottom - literally and metaphorically!
Jarno vs Rubens for the Indycar title is a possibility http://www.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/97597 Would love to see a Trulli train round an oval!
