Question: You own a vineyard, but can you name the grape variety that your land is predominantly planted with?

Question: You play drums in a Toyota team members’ band, but can you explain to us what a paradiddle is?

Jarno Trulli: Basically we set up this band between Toyota members in order to play some music, stay together and enjoy a bit of free time together. It is a very good way to spend and enjoy time away from racing. But coming back to your question - I have no idea. I have never studied music. I play by instinct.
Incorrect - it’s a four-note pattern in the form of right, left, right, right or left, right, left, left.
