Trulli quick in testing

Italy’s Jarno Trulli, given a welcome boost by team chief Flavio Briatore this week, clocked the fastest time in private testing for the European Grand Prix at the Nurburgring in Germany.

Trulli, told by Briatore that his job is safe despite being overshadowed by his more inexperienced team-mate Fernando Alonso, finished over 0.2 secs ahead of the chasing pack.
