Ralf in a quiet moment before his final race with Panasonic Toyota Racing, with whom he has spent the past 3 years.

The first day at Interlagos was marred by rain. Even still, Trulli got off to a good start to finish the morning’s practice in 6th.

In a turnabout from the previous day, the weather was perfect for qualifying. Trulli secured 8th position on the grid and looked in promising form for the main race.

Ralf placed 15th on the grid in torridly hot and changeable conditions.

Off to a good start, Trulli holds his position. His 3-stop strategy also proved successful as he went on to take the chequered flag in 8th.

Damage incurred to his machine’s aerodynamic parts saw Ralf lose positions right after the start of the race. Even so, he went on to finish the race in 11th.

Ralf spent 3 years of hard-fought competition with the team. In thanks for his efforts, he was given a wing end plate signed by all the staff.

This season didn’t turn out to be as hoped, but the team finished on a positive note with a points finish in the final race, something that will hopefully spur them on to bigger and better things next season.
