Trulli spills the beans on 06 and Ralf

Jarno Trulli has pushed aside the challenge of his German teammate Ralf Schumacher. During the 2005 season Jarno looked to have the upper hand on Ralf until the TF105B arrived, with the 06 car based on the B Spec, Jarno isn’t worried about the challenge.

Even though the Italian has reported to be struggling with the new TF106, after bitching about the handling of his TF105B towards the end of last season, Jarno feel’s he’ll be the car in front’ "Ralf was never ahead of me" Jarno said, referring to the majority of the races last year. "I've never thought about Ralf. I aimed at third place in the championship and, one trouble after the next, I saw 30 points disappear in the second half of the season."

Jarno also aimed fire at the new rules for 2006, “If I had to follow the championship on television, I would definitely not have the same enthusiasm as I do while racing in it." I have a feeling Jarno will not be taking up any roles on F1 ITV next year…
