    Yeah!! but the Prawns have Brawn and bunsen!

    First ever front row for Toyota. Another milepost reached, another sign of improvement. For the first time ever Toyota is the car to beat in a Grand Prix weekend. Please-please bring that 1-2 from tomorrow's race to prove yourselves as a genuine top team!

    You've forgotten one key ingredient in tht mix: Red Bull. I think If Brawn fail hold up development and as a result do not win, then I think Red Bull will edge it over Toyota.
    Congratulations Sebastian Vettel. Champion of the season of seasons.

    Great performance from Toyota in qualifying today.

    I think Toyota have an advantage over Red Bull to be honest. What Red Bull gain in having rising star Vettel on board, they loose in Mark Webber's atrocious luck. And Vettel isn't exactly bulletproof just yet. Both Toyota drivers have driven consistently so far this year. Even if they don't always have the pace to match the Brawns or Red Bulls at times (NB: its hard to judge this from the first three races to be honest, given the circumstances,) they can certainly keep up with development and their drivers are experienced. If they get a win under their belt tomorrow, its another milestone and may urge them on further into the realms of success this season. They have a smashing car and a really solid package, the best they've had yet. Best of luck for tomorrow

    I will be quite open about it and say I really hope a Toyota wins later today.

    I agree. I've never been a Toyota fan, but I love Jarno and think he is very underrated. I hope he wins tomorrow. I still remember how happy he was when he won in Monaco. That race... was fantastic.

    Well, same story as past years. Great over a qualifying lap but lacking that extra edge in the race. Still, a good result nonetheless if not a disappointing one too.
