Jarno: "It's always the same story"

Jarno Trulli is known to qualify well, then to hold up a chasing pack during the Grand Prix. The ‘mobile chicane’ tag features largely with Jarno’s stereotype, with many journalists’ using this as an excuse for ruining other peoples races. But the quiet Italian has spoken out against these comments.

The main himself has voiced his frustration, branding it “the same (old) story”. Trulli said: "The driver who has qualified the car in the front will look much worse than the guy who is nearer the back. I will look stupid because I will only queue everyone else behind me."

It seems also that some of our regular message board posters are unhappy with the so called “same story”;

Luke 'Casanova' states: “it has happened for a very long time and now its become quite boring”

Whereas Cima Racing feels they are branding the wrong guy: “Stick Michael Schumacher on pole with his Ferrari F2005 and you'll soon see a bright red mobile chicane.”

Whilst Fisico saids: “he gets higher than the car really should be so its a compliment in a way”
