Audemars Piguet honors Jarno Trulli with his own chronograph

Audemars Piguet has a long history of sponsoring F1. Rubens Barrichello and Juan Pablo Montoya - race-winning drivers for the two top teams - have acted as brand ambassadors. As was Jarno Trulli. But the Swiss watchmaker has chosen a heck of a year to honor the Italian rider with his own timepiece. A former national champion in Formula Three, Trulli has been in F1 since 1997. Although he only won one Grand Prix Formula One, there are only 102 people in the world - living or dead - who can tell. Jarno has also landed on the pole position four times, the podium 11 times and scored over 246 points in his career so far. And it's nothing to cough. But this season was by far his worst yet.
