Nice job Keith,I still feel bad for Kobayashi,as he and Toyota both looked good for pairing up in 2010.Hope he gets a seat somewhere.

I have always asked myself what companies like Toyota get out of being in F1. I can understand that for car makers whose image is primarily linked to performance (Ferrari, Mclaren, Porsche, Lamborghini, Aston Martin etc) being in F1 can be a good marketing move – and winning is important. But, for companies whose cars are bought for their confort, reliability, safety, low fuel consumption, price or other day-to-day criteria like these – what is the attraction of being in F1? Even if you become a regular winner, I have doubts you’d sell a single extra car for your troubles.

Quite interesting facts. Based on this Lotus simply have to sign Trulli

Why are people who bash Toyota idiots? They were in F1 for almost a decade with probably the biggest budget in every season and they didn’t manage one win. I am not glad that they are leaving but you can’t say their time in F1 was a success.

my comments is only partly related to Toyota.

as you know tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will take place Trulli’s and Salo’s nascar test with the Michael Waltrip Racing, which is also related to Toyota.

These 2 guys are like the frames, but not for only Toyota, maybe Lotus as well.

Salo was the last signed driver of the classic Lotus team in 1994, for the last few races, before they wnet bankrupt. Trulli could be the first signing of the new Lotus.

Salo was the first signed driver of Toyota, Trulli, well, he is not their last sigining, but he was there on the last race of the Japanese team.

and now they are testing together in North America. interesting at least

Yeah…couldn’t agree more with The Sri Lankan…

Toyota was a solid ($$$$$$) team, with real aspirations…unfortunately they finally ran out of ventilations.

We were lucky to have Toyota. I remember years when there were really only a few teams with the resources to compete in a serious way….it didn’t make for very interesting racing. To knock the guys from Cologne has always been too easy and too “smart”.

If we go through a few years with one or two teams dominating to the point that races become forgone conclusions then we may look back at the years with grids full of “serious” teams as very good times.

Why would someone place Heidfeld in the vicinity of Sutil, Kubika and Wurz. and Wurz is even on some sort of platform.

Poor Heidfeld looks like a dwarf.

Toyota may be a large auto manufacturer, but a can of Red Bull sets my pulse racing a lot more than cars like the Prius, Yaris and Land Cruiser do!
