Well, jusdging by their testing times, not this year. Although they do have the biggest budget (and by far so) and the bosses are really determined to see the team succeed, so we might be in for a surprise as the season progresses. Just my opinion.

hmm...i'd sure like to hope so...i hate ferrari 1 2 finishes

but i doubt they'll even earn a win this season.
mika salo and allan mcnish need a wicked car and lots of luck if they hope to finish high

i'm guessing they'll be like Honda their first time out, working out the bugs and glitches throughout the season

Toyota will do big things in Formula One....but they will need track time in race conditions to fully develop their potential.I'm picking that they will make points within 5 meetings, but won't win a race until closer to the end of the season.
