Well, Toyota is finally showing some signs of life, especially on their home turf.

Too little too late I'm afraid.

Yeah, I've seen that. I work often on weekends, but if this happens I'm going to try to volunteer for it.

Congratulations Jenson and Brawn GP on winning both the Formula 1 Drivers and constructors championships today. Bad luck Rubens, a magnificent effort, hopefully you will make it next year.

Rubens really does have the worst luck at Interlagos.

Man, I bet you could've made a fortune betting on JB to win the championship at the start of the year. This year was exciting IMO seeing teams that were traditionally midfielders at best come to the front while the big factory teams struggled. Congrats JB, and the rest of the Brawn GP team. Ross is looking like a GP god! Championships with 3 different teams is impressive.

On a side note... i like the idea of no refueling next year. Will they still be required to run both tire compounds? Or could you try to make your set of tires last the whole race if you wanted to? That could lead to some exciting incidents!

Hopefully the Toyota team will rise from the ashes like Brawn did.

I'm looking forward to seeing a Lotus on the grid again next year!

Fanfare for the common man.....

I pulled for them because they are the "everymans" factory. Joe Shmoe owns a Toyota, not a Beemer, Merc or Ferrari....

They'll be back....
