Before Trulli Jr. can compete in Formula One, he must take “a lot of steps”
Enzo Trulli may have defied the odds by winning the 2021 F4 UAE Championship, but Formula One is still a long way off.
Enzo Trulli, the son of Formula One race champion Jarno Trulli, entered the 2021 Formula 4 UAE Championship to make his debut in single-seaters.
It was meant to be an introduction for the 15-year-old, but nobody expected him to go on and win it. That’s exactly what he did, winning by a single point over Dutchman Dilano van’t Hoff.
“Winning this championship really came as a total surprise to us,” Jarno said.
“Not only for me, but also for the team and for Enzo himself. We left for the United Arab Emirates with the aim of giving Enzo as much experience as possible in a Formula car. It was impossible to predict he would suddenly manage to win the UAE Formula 4 Championship.”

Enzo will compete in the Spanish F4 Championship next. However, while his UAE victory has put him firmly on the map in the junior categories, the world of Formula 1 remains “a lot of steps” away.
“I have to stay fit because I will also be in the Spanish Formula 4 championship this year. I want to prepare as well as possible for this,” said Enzo.
“The road to Formula 1 is very long and I really have to finish the road step by step. Of course, I am very happy with winning the title in the UAE F4 championship, but I also know I still have a lot of steps to take.”

However, in addition to Spanish F4, Enzo now has other potential opportunities for 2021.
“Everything happened so fast this winter with Enzo that now there seems to be other options,” said his father Jarno.
“We will have to sit down for that because of course we have to make the right choices. For now at least we have the contract in the Spanish F4 championship in our pocket.
“It was nice to see how people from the sport reacted to Enzo’s achievements, which of course makes me very proud. I am very happy with how everything has gone and I look forward to seeing how he will do in the coming years. We will take a good look at everything.”
When asked who his current racing idol is, Enzo chose one of his father’s former teammates.
“I have spoken to and seen Fernando [Alonso] several times in my life. If you ask me who my current idol is on the F1 grid, Fernando is,” Enzo concluded.
