Jarno Trulli's manager has dismissed rumours that Toyota will drop the Italian in favour of Kamui Kobayashi, a move thought to be aimed at appeasing the manufacturer's bosses back in Japan in the wake of this week's bleak financial news - the company making a loss for the first time in its history.
"These are totally groundless rumours, and as usual they start on the Internet," Trulli's manager, Lucio Cavuto, told 422race.com.
"Somebody envies Jarno's career in Formula One," he continued. "But in life it's better to be envied than pitied."
