To do what.....................find a real F1 driver? 8)
That and produce results other than an occasional point here and there.......when Toyota's US subsidiary, Toyota Racing Development(TRD) used to be in the IRL, the running joke in the paddock was that TRD spent less than a 1/10th that their F1 brethern did and still produce good results, even though Honda was winning left and right. My guess, the bosses in Tokyo are gettin' just a little bit tired of seeing good money go down the drain........ :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

This has been flying around for a couple of days, its complete bollocks. ( that is only my opinion of course)

Purely coincidental it comes from a Spanish newspaper :roll:

If ( big if) it were true, RIP Maccas.

The rumours regarding Ron Dennis are persisting possibly indicating that there is some truth in them. It now appears that Ron Dennis may have decide to leave rather then being told to go.

The story isn't only contained in Spain but is now spreading to the UK. Yesterday the Sunday times reported that a handover to Marin Whitmarsh is possible a few races into the season.

We reported this in our news section here
