But to compare him with Trulli you only use the 2004. Why the 2003 races are not valuable. Is a driver rated "by years"?, is driver "better driver" one year than the next one? Overall, I would say Alonso definetely beat Trulli despite in 2004 the italian did a great start of the season and put things very difficult for Alonso.
