Japanese media is reporting that Toyota has already decided to pull the plug on its 2010 Formula One program...

Its very sad to see Toyota go But that means Sauber can race on 2010.

This is a very unfortunate turn. F1 should not be losing another marquee team. It will however be seen as good news at Sauber. But is it good news for the sport. I don't think so. I would wonder if Bridgestone's announcment, did not effect Toyota.

300 mil a year budget and not a single race win in 7 years of trying. Howett should just be grateful he's lasted this long...

Would they be very likely to continue as an engine supplier ( slash Kobayashi supplier ) or no?

According to Joe Saward's F1 Blog, It's already a done deal.

I don't really care about Toyota being gone, although it would be nice if they were an engine supplier. Not a fan of factory teams. However, I am very disappointed for Kobayashi. I hope that someone will give him a ride, as he seriously deserves it.

I've just read Joe Saward's blog, and it would seem to confirm the reality of Toyota's departure from F1. This is a huge loss for F1, and all racing formulas. It may very well be a sign to the future of racing in general.
