Jarno's helmet

Post

This weekend Jarno Trulli had a new Helmet...probably only for this occasian, because there was inscripted on his helmet: Japanese Grand Prix 2005.
The Italian made some publicity for his wine: Podere Castorani.
Recently I've written an article about Jarno Trulli and his life outside F1 where he talks about his vineyard. For the people who haven't read it... :wink:

I read your article. There was an article on his wine in the official Canadian GP '05 program. While I try not to go out and buy a product just based on the fact that I celebrity I like is a spokesperson for that product (or in this case, his own brand), I really wanted to try his vino. However, at the time, I couldn't find it in Canada, so I gave up. Have you tried it?

Well, there was an article in one of Canada's newspapers (The Globe and Mail), about his wine. According to this article, if I remember correctly, one small company in Alberta (Canadian province) tried to introduce it in that province. However, the price per bottle was close to 50$. When you take into consideration that Trulli's wine has not yet established itself, it seemed that a price of 50$/bottle was a little too much.

Off topic, where do you guys find such articles (not just Trulli's wine, but a lot of others which are a little more personal. Usually, internet is full of technical articles, rather than personal ones.)?

The article about Jarno and his vineyard, I've found at the website of Toyota...but Trulli has also a website about his wine brand Podere Castorani.
http://www.poderecastorani.it/
If you'd like to check it out.
The other personal articles.... Well, I search the web...and than I try to reconstruct the information I got from several websites into one article about the more personal side of one of the drivers or F1-people. Like the Briatore article.

I do this because I think it's nice to know something more about the person behind the driver. Hope you enjoy it too?

I've also written the technical article about the drivers fitness. I knew that they had to work out a lot, but so much. I really admire them.
