Spain: 'Best race of career' - Jarno

Toyota hero Jarno Trulli has been quick to hail the Spanish GP at Barcelona as 'one of the best races in my career.' The Italian set a disappointing final qualifying time, yet claimed his third podium of 2005 despite a late battle with fellow Toyota driver Ralf Schumacher.

"I have to say that this was one of the best races of my career," Trulli said. "The car wasn't very good but I fought very hard. I had a different strategy - I was fast with more fuel and not so strong on low fuel because of the car set up. In the end if was a tough job to be ahead of Ralf at the end and he probably deserved third place as much as I did."

Jarno still lies second in the championship despite a win by Kimi Raikkonen, and has been much of the reason of Toyota's current holding of second place in the Constructors Championship.
