OT: F1 podium crowd..what does the string of garlic signify??

With the exception of warding off marauding vampires, what is the signifigance of a large string of garlic? A team member of the winning team(nifty non-spoiler eh?) was jubulantly(sp?) bouncing up and down while holding the garlic over the fence. Is this some F1 backstory? just curious... dave henrie

Not sure why at the F1 race but Im from Gilroy (Garlic capital of the world) and it means cash where Im from :)) "Dave Henrie" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]... > With the exception of warding off marauding vampires, what is the > signifigance of a large string of garlic?

Is Gilroy in Italy? I think that that might be where Trulli is from, cuz the guy seemed to be a trulli supporter/friend "Mitch_A" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:kccXa.13$[email hidden]... > Not sure why at the F1 race but Im from Gilroy (Garlic capital of theworld)

Hehe, not quite. California, but we do have a lot of Italians here :)). Although there may be a Gilroy in Italy as well. "Stuart Becktell" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:VtcXa.28124$[email hidden]... > Is Gilroy in Italy? I think that that might be where Trulli is from, cuzthe

Found out why on F1-live. He was in Italy someplace with some of Jean Alesi's friends. They told him a few years ago they gave him this string of garlic and he got a podium, so they gave it to him and he got a podium, hence the guy playing around with it all nimbly bimbly. -Stuart Becktell "RS" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:bgjnvb$pft40$[email hidden]...

Jarno Trulli, after a long serie of problems with his car, tied a string of garlick above it when it is parked in Renault's garage to put away the bad luck He started doing this at Silverstone after he changed his helmet color in Magny Cours. He must be very supersticious but I must admit that it works. Le Sun, 03 Aug 2003 18:00:50 GMT, Dave Henrie <[email hidden]> a �crit :
