Although Toyota is not as experienced in Formula One as Honda or Renault or McLaren and Ferrari, it is said that the team has the biggest budget.  Thus, they are expected to win some races but unfortunately, the team is struggling with the 2007 season ending with Ralf Schumacher leaving the team. Schumacher and teammate Jarno Trulli only managed to finish as high as sixth place last year.

This struggle has been going on for years and it seems as if the home office is calling for better results.  To motivate the team, a two-year deadline was given to team principal Tadashi Yamashina.  The team boss was given until 2010 to stop the bleeding.

He had this to say:  "We can see that our car was not hard enough on the tyres. It is better to be tough on the tyres and be faster." No matter what the cause may be for their subpar performance, I'm hoping that they would fix it soon and start beating other teams not named Spyker or Toro Rosso.
