OK this being a road racing forum and F1 being the pinnacle of road racing this is not really OT. For Toyota who are absolute virgins in F1, the toughest motorsport to be competitive in came out and was 6th in Friday Practice ahead of McClaren's Kimi and DC! Mika Salo was 3rd in practice until right towards the end. That is phenomenal first effort. I know it is just practice but damn that is impressive when you think of Jaguar sucking for how many years now? Renualt sucking last year (and well behind Toyota in practice tonight) much less BAR with their big mouths. Could be a very interesting year. Toyota will not be a title challenger. No delusions. "My team" Williams BMW ok, well Juan Pablo Montoya is looking pretty good in fourth. Yeah M. Schumacher is first in practice in his 01 car. When Ferrari rolls out its clutchless car, it is going to be scary. No bell housing, engine connects to the tranny directly, engine and tranny now one piece instead of two and 110mm shorter. No clutch release bearings, etc. Damn tricky stuff.
Toyota was stupendous tonight for the first effort.
