Jarno Trulli will drive for Toyota next season, the Formula One team announced today.

Toyota said the Italian, winner of this year's Monaco Grand Prix for Renault, had signed a two-year contract and would have his first test of the team at Silverstone this afternoon.

There was no word about whether he might drive for the team before the end of the season.

Trulli, one of only four drivers to have won a race this season, left Renault by mutual agreement this week and next year will partner Germany's Ralf Schumacher, who is joining from Williams.
