Thumbs up
This is a very interesting move. BAR did not have a full year's testing before entering F1, and no team that I know of had a full year's testing by a good F1 driver before entering F1. It all depends on how good the engine is, I suppose, as Salo would be able to help develop the chassis very well. Toyota, unlike BAR, cannot survive the bad publicity of a monumental failure in its first year. There cannot be any loss of face as the other Japanese company is in F1 already, and scoring points. I think they should hire Adrian Newey!!
