Trulli for Toyota in Japan?

Jarno Trulli did not go to China with the Panasonic Toyota Racing team but it seems likely that the Italian will be driving for the team in Japan in two weeks.

Jarno Trulli did not go to China with the Panasonic Toyota Racing team but it seems likely that the Italian will be driving for the team in Japan in two weeks. Trulli's first test for the team at Silverstone last week was not a big success and it was decided that it would be unwise to race in China but there is a three-day test at Jerez de la Frontera this week and if goes well it is expected that Jarno will replace Ricardo Zonta for the last two races of the season.

"There is currently no plan to change our driver line-up for Japan and Brazil," said a spokesman for the team.
