Jarno Trulli has made an impassioned plea to raise money for the victims of this month's earthquake in Abruzzo, Jarno's home region.
The Italian has set up a charity called 'Abruzzo nel Cuore' ('Abruzzo in the Heart') and will wear the logo on the sleeves of his race suit at upcoming races. He's also been busy up and down the pitlane today, encouraging other teams to run stickers on their cars, and for drivers to donate items for auction.
"Nearly 300 people died and we don't have a city or villages anymore; everything has gone," says Jarno. "More than one hundred thousand people have been left with nothing: no houses, no jobs, families. It must be really hard.
"I want to support the people and to do that I gave up one of my sponsors to give money and raise visibility. I am going to ask GPDA drivers, teams, everyone, to join me. This is not just asking about the money. I am raising money but I want people to donate items.
"At the end of the season [we'll] see how much we have and try to go there and rebuild schools - everything basically has to be rebuilt. For once in my life, I will probably go and knock on everyone's door to raise some money."
While Sebastian Vettel prepares to sign some fireproof underwear, why not show your support by visiting Jarno's new website www.abruzzonelcuore.

I put in a plug for your blog at mine. Anyway, I am sure most people forget the points you are discussing.

Wow!, this was a real quality post. In theory I'd like to write like this too - taking time and real effort to make a good article... but what can I say... I procrastinate a lot and never seem to achieve anything
