Ralph to be dropped from Toyota?

from formula-1.updatesport.com

Newspaper reports on Tuesday suggested that the former six-time grand prix winner, who qualified a dreary twentieth in Monaco last weekend, could be dropped by the team if he does not close up on the pace of his teammate Jarno Trulli over the next two races.

Now, the German tabloid 'Bild' is linking impressive Spyker rookie Adrian Sutil - who sensationally topped a wet practice time sheet in Monaco Carlo last weekend - with 31-year-old Ralf's race seat.

Sutil's manager Karl-Heinz Zimmermann said: "After (Adrian's) recent performances, one or two team managers have enquired about his situation, but up to now there have been no negotiations.

That Sutil has potential but I can't see ralph being dropped

I can

If Trulli scored points and Ralf misses the top twelve, short of exceptional circumstances, then I can see him being dropped.

DROP HIM! Enough with Schumachers in F1. :P

yeah, he is a dead weight, boring (like toyota ) time for him to go.

I wouldn't be surprised. His Monaco performance was dreadful

And Sutil put it in the wall...

Why not drop the Toyota team all together?

LOL.

They could always keep him and use him for ballast??

Ralf's name alone will protect him unitl his contract is up. No way the Japanese will drop him and lose face....

I dont know, Ralf fits in perfectly with toyota, German (where toyota is based), lots of money (as toyota have) and slow (as toyota are)

@ Lemming, i believe there was a "Robby Bummachello" in one of the older F1 games.

Dont bet on it. Reliable sources have Ralf out and Montagny in for the French GP.
