Toyota, who narrowly failed to follow the path of the Honda, and ceded to the crisis, the model presented in a ceremony TF109 online, similar to Ferrari.
The design of the new Toyota TF109 F1 remains similar to last year, was not new rear wings with new rules, and the front spoiler was wider.
For Toyota F1 had two podiums and a fifth in the constructors' championship looks like a balcony obvious: do not mess much to improve these numbers. But there are many unknowns ahead.According to director of Toyota, Tadashi Yamashina says that "the aim is to fight to get the first win for Toyota in Formula 1."
Toyota F1 is still optimistic and had renewed its sponsorship with Panasonic 2012, and close with a new RE / MAX Europe. In times of economic crisis, is a great deal that goes against the predictions of evasion sponsors in 2009.
The drivers of the Toyota F1 will remain the same: the aspiring retiree Trulli Jarno - still a good driver - and Timo Glock - fickle and eternally remembered by braslieiros because of the last race of 2008.
Wherever he goes, Formula 1 below dragging a lot of luxury and contracts millionaires. Further proof of this was the interview given by Isaac Nogueira and Prada, an engineer who is a Ph.D. candidate at Renault, the Spanish newspaper El Pais, he said, a single lap in a Formula one car costs thousand euros (about $ 2.5 R thousand).
Other information passed by the engineer is that only in parts, a Formula 1 car might cost 1.5 million euros (about $ 3.8 million). Moreover, only in power, Renault, for example, spends about 90 000 euros (330 000) and most is due to the wind tunnel. Some racing teams even have two wind tunnels in their factories.
According to business magazine F1 last season, the team has invested more than the McLaren. Were 368 million euros (about $ 940 million), compared with 306 (about U.S. $ 779 million) and EUR 315 million (U.S. $ 802 million) spent by Spanish clubs Real Madrid and Barcelona, respectively, in football.
Only with Spaniard Fernando Alonso in the 2007 season, McLaren would have spent 20 million euros (about $ 51 million).
But this year cost-cutting were the main news within each team, mainly imposed by the FIA, and headlines to use an engine every three trials, a single engine supplier to teams that are not manufacturers and depend one supplier. Already in 2010 the KERS will be mandatory for everyone.
