What has Schumi Jr. ever done to deserve the millions Toyota shoveled at him?
Maybe they see Jarno is more of a team player and someone they can work with.
Most overrated driver? Nah, thats Button or Webber, both of those guys are shite. Jarno HAS won a race...

Toyota just wanted a big name when they first got Ralf, any Schumacher would have done. they'd have got Rolf (father) if he could fit in the car!

Toyota have made some stupid driver decisions ever since they came to F1. Let's take a look:-
2002 - Salo and McNish. Great. An also-ran who had potential but never results, and a 30-year old debutant who was too slow for a drive further up the field.
2003/04 - Panis and Da Matta. Almost a carbon copy of the previous season, except less charisma. Da Matta at least had potential in America, but there were SO many more talented drivers they could have signed.
2005/06 - Paying over the odds for Schumacher because of his name, and grabbing Trulli after he was excreted from Renault. Started to look good, but once again they both proved that they aren't top-line drivers. At this point I was wondering whether Toyota had more money than vision.
2007 - Apparently they do. What's the betting we'll see some other also-ran reject filling the second seat? They were after Coulthard FFS...

I think Ralf signed a three year deal.
Webber was my second choice for most ovverated driver
Also, last year Ralf scored almost double the points Trulli did. He has done more to deserve his seat, even if he's lazy and goes off the boil sometimes.

So they fire Gascoyne, but want Trulli for another 3 years...
Brilliant.
Brilliant.
the 199
he is as bad as Fisichella, looks liek Toyota is another team who made a bad driver decision (the other is Renault)
was Mike G anything to do with the design of the R23?

So who stole Ferrari designs? 
All Mike done at TF was divide the design dept into 2 logical teams, current car, and next years.
He got 12million or whatever for it too!
"Trulli was slowing down like he wanted to have a picnic" LOL

good for Jarno. I thing this is just the kind of stability he needs in a team to deliver. Once he settles in a little more I think he has a far better shot at delivering them their 1st win.

Well outright pace, he doesn't seem to have the same concentration over such a long period as some of the other drivers. In fact, if he's told to push by the team, he magically wakes up and puts in some awesome lap times, and then kinda falls asleep again. If he can get over the sleepy part he would probably be a threat to the championship one day.
Obviously not this year, he went and found somewhere to sleep as soon as the lights came on
