Confirmed !!

Toyota has announced that it is to pull out of Formula 1 with immediate effect.

The Japanese car company revealed its surprise decision in a news conference in Tokyo today following an earlier board meeting. It said the current economic situation had prompted its departure.

"Toyota Motor Corporation (TMC) announces it plans to withdraw from the FIA Formula 1 world championship at the end of the 2009 season," said a Toyota statement.

hope this will serve as a warning to FIA, dont do stupid shit anymore...... if they keep on pissing off current team, they are gonna leave one by one and soon F1 will not be F1 any more.

我並不是這樣看. 冇錯 FIA 近年.....都好似唔只近年, 而好耐都係, 政策搖擺不定, 甚至倒行逆施添, 抵打!

不過, 那些所謂廠隊, 意思指那些大車廠用錢買起一隊黎玩 ( 包括豐田都係, 唔好畀它或媒體誤導是全新建立, 只是買起前 Rally 合作伙伴 TTE, 再加碼....即係始終一招 : $   它們又好有貢獻咩??? 我指對視賽車為一項體育而言!!!
它們 commit 乜野??? 答案係市場, 即係到最尾都係返番去講金是也. 對它們來說, 只是一項投資. 有賺, 便繼續, 條數計落唔化算/唔掂, 便鬆人, 關人seven事!!   大家請看看本田, 寶馬, 豐田, 這三隊的退出原因是 $$$, 並非 FIA 的政策!!!!
如果條數掂, 即是宣傳/推廣/形象...等等的無形利益計落有著數, FIA 再亂黎, 佢地一定繼續, 仲慌死你唔受佢玩添! 佢地由始至終都係 : ** 商家佬 **

其實, 只要對賽車深入D睇, 以賽車為純體育角度看, 它們也產生不少負面影響.
舉一個....有些雷同的例子 : 幾年前, 利勿浦足球隊的美國老板入股控制, 帶給當地足球甚麼呢?

Max Mosley 雖然討厭, 但他也是看得對的, 只是, 討厭的人所採用的手法唔慌好得去邊而已, 儘管大方向正確, 方法拙劣只更弄巧反拙.
如此而已.

這個是好消息,正如我經常說,越無廠隊,越對賽車運動係好事,因無咁多商業因素就可以回歸多些賽車運動真粹(多D好果無喇 )

Kobayashi 真係唔好彩
佢最尾呢2場替工表現咁好, 如果Toyota仲留低, 佢一定有得玩. 不過依家...

唔知 renault 又會唔會跟呢

講黎講去，都係 $$$ ........

我講??? 冇乜公信力的

呢拿, 大名鼎鼎的 Ross Brawn 講, 就有份量得多嘞!

Brawn: Car makers will return to F1

Brawn told Reuters : " Manufacturers look at the value to them of Formula 1, there's no sentiment I'm afraid. So when it's viable they come in, and when it's not they don't."

"I've been in Formula 1 for over 30 years and I've seen it go from total privateers to a huge number of manufacturers back to privateers and it just goes in cycles depending on the climate.

I think there are some manufacturers that take a day-to-day view and unfortunately those are leaving now but they are being filled up by a lot of private teams."

中肯, 中肯. 唔似得某大老闆, 監硬 "死漁都要介多刀" 的有關言論
