Trulli wanted race win
26 April 2009 / Results / PhotosJarno Trulli expressed his disappointment after the Bahrain Grand Prix having finished second to Jenson Button. The Italian started the race from pole position for Toyota but fell foul of the strategy used by the Brawn team, which saw Jenson Button take a lead of up to seventeen seconds during the race.

"I'm a little bit disappointed because I was waiting for the first win for Toyota," Trulli said after the race. "Unfortunately, the start cost me a position. From then on, it was a hard race. I was following my team-mate, I was going longer and during the second stint we went long onto hard tyres. I was really fighting with a lot of cars; I was not really quick, but was competitive on the harder tyres."
The Italian did a commanding job of holding off a flying Sebastian Vettel during the race, but was later unable to pass the German. "Eventually, Vettel took the position after my last stop," Trulli explained. "He was on the hard tyres and I was on the softs and I was pushing him because I was quicker, but there was no way of overtaking. I want to thank the team because they have done a very good job. Let's fight again in the next race!"
