Toyota has pulled the covers from its all new Formula One car, set to take to the track this year.
Designed and engineered in line with new FIA regulations, it carries Toyota’s hopes of securing its elusive first grand prix victory.
Team president John Howitt said: “After eight years in Formula 1 we have gained a huge amount of knowledge and improved considerably. We are hungry to win and ready to win, there should be no doubt about that. The new regulations pose an extra challenge, but at the same time offer an opportunity. We have everything we need to win, some exceptionally talented people and a huge motivation to succeed, so now it is down to us to actually make it happen.”
The car is new, but there is continuity in Toyota’s driver line-up, with Jarno Trulli, Timo Glock and “third driver” Kamui Kobayashi looking to build on the successes they achieved during 2008.
Trulli, who has driven for the team since 2004, said: “I have now spent longer racing for Toyota in Formula 1 than any other driver and I have seen the huge progress that has been made. It has been a long journey and we have had ups and downs, but we have never given up or lost faith.”
