Jarno Trulli 9 Toyota Sport Pictures Galleries

In the first race of the 2009 season, Trulli started the race from the pitlane due to Toyota's flexible rear wing that breached regulations. Both the Toyotas of Jarno Trulli and Timo Glock were disqualified and their qualifying times were wiped out. Although Trulli started from the Pit Lane, he finished in an impressive 3rd Place but was penalised 25 seconds to 12th position for passing Lewis Hamilton under the safety car.

A few days after the penalty that Jarno Trulli received, Hamilton was disqualified and thrown out of the race results of the Australian Grand Prix for 'misleading' the race stewards by insisting that Jarno Trulli had passed him under the Safety Car although Hamilton let him pass on purpose due to an order given through the pit lane radio. Jarno Trulli therefore regained his third place finish.

At the Bahrain Grand Prix, Trulli qualified on pole position but faded in the race to place third. However he did record the fastest lap, the only time he has achieved this in his career. He holds the record of having started the most Grands Prix before recording a fastest lap.
