I did mean 10th in a race, not every race, but some. They will beat Jaguar, Prost, Mianrdi and Arrows.

ljakse, as one of the largest auto manufactures in the world, it is important for Toyota to have success in F1. But in their first year, competing with the Honda powered teams is unrealistic.
You can want something REALLY badly, but that doesnt guarantee anything. Toyota has a large budget, but money isnt the most valuable factor for a F1 team. Remember BAR's rookie season? They had one of the largest budgets, a world champion driver, a competitive engine, experienced engineers, a sugestion that they could win a race, and ended up with 0 points. The difference is that BAR was cocky, and Toyota is modest. That is how they will save face this season. By not promising what they cannot achieve. The Japanese arent the only people who want to "save face". Look at Jaguar. A hugely funded team, representing the 2nd largest auto manufacturer in the world. They've got a great engine, great personel, but disapointing results. |

hakkiman, anything is possible. Including a Toyota top 10. Just not likely.
