Do they talk about how they stole Ferarri guys and plans on how they race?

First thing first for Toyota F1, find some talent drivers to replace the current mediocre two, particularly, Ralf Schumacher. At least Jarno Trulli is a good qualifier, and Ralf Schumacher offers nothing!

More like 50 years of giving the Euro's a break in motorsport while eating their lunch in sales.

U both supra and Lexus admirer are right about Ralf.
Btw do u know his salary for 2007 of USD 22M is second only to Kimi's USD 51M.

I don't know Why Toyota is paying him so much and keeping him for so long. He’s not even 1/10 of his brother's abilities.

Pos Toyota F1 Car. I am sure u doesn’t know much about F1.
Toyota supplied the engine to BMW this year and have u seen their performance this season, Third only to Ferrari and Mclaren.They came out of nowhere.

This means that Toyota engine is good. So now u understood where the problem is.
Yes its drivers.BMW just has better drivers.

And Drivers make a lot of difference.
For example.
1) When Fernando was in Renault they became Double World Champion. He left they r struggling.
2) Michael’s absence was definitely a big blow to Ferrari but they coped well at the end as they got a nearly equal talented and quick replacement and one more thing, the new change (of one make tyres) went in their favor too,as they were used to Bridgestones tyres and luckily this year it’s all Bridgstone.(Not quite a Plus but defiantely a Negative for their arch rivals Mclaren and Renault who used Michelin before).

All in all Toyota, this season just try to do good and next year appoint some best drivers, even if they cost u 100M each.

Toyota is doing fine in F1. They have their own way to the top.

Subaru and toyota are sister companys, so if Mclaren helped with the wrc race technology of subaru, dont you think some of those efforts were used in toyota F1 or any other auto races.

Lexus AD. you are so full of shit its amazing. Check the parts and the numbers. They are totally compatible. They share the same heritage, and the same parts.What are you trying to prove? Do you want to talk tranys or gear ratios , or maybe tuning (ECUs). either way I dont Care. Please check what your talking about before you come at me.
