Trulli a shame for Cerruti

Italian female race driver for Trulli Formula E team was replaced by Italian former F1 driver Vitantonio Liuzzi. The news broke before the recent ePrix in Miami. The length of Liuzzi’s contract was not made public. The team cited her withdrawal from the series for professional reasons.

The announcement was a bit of shock to many. As late as March 6th, she was lobbying for FANBOOST votes on social media.

The statement from Trulli Team principal Lucio Cavuto, read as follows: “The whole team and I are very sad that Michela won’t be racing with us any longer. We would like to take this opportunity to thank her for her great contribution to the team and wish her the very best of luck for the future. We are very happy to have Vitantonio coming to race for the team.”

Our Social Media editor however did catch this exchange on Twitter, which leads us to believe there is more to this story than we’re being led to believe.
