Ex Minardi driver to carry olympic torch!!

Alessandro Nannini is carrying the torch through Siena:D

Jarno Trulli and Luca Badoer have carried the Olympic Torch as it's made its way through Italy on its way to Turino. Badoer carried it through Maranello in a TOIT.

strange this hasn't had any news from the F1 sites:spank:

I've seen Trulli mentioned on a site but not Badoer or Nannini. I was actually suprised a lot when the Houston Chronicle actually had a picture of Trulli carrying it.

They even got it right that he is an F1 driver. Usually if they even mention something F1 related they only have a few sentences about F1 an a Schumacher picture if any picture at all.

I demand PLM gets his turn!

Autosport.com had a short article and pics of Jarno carrying the flame about a week ago..... pics of Luca were on their site today......
