Toyota does have a valid point. F1 is elitist and they need to get rid of that attitude in today's climate. Companies just aren't willing to give blank checks just to have a technological parade. Also, what really frightens me and makes me believe F1 is fragile, were the empty grandstands at Monaco. There is no way in hell that was related to an ash cloud.

I'm not sure what you have against VW. They want in F1 if they change the power-plant specs.

Being part of an elite is a good thing - it is the level of the best. Toyota have demonstrated an inability to compete at the highest level of F1.

After leaving, for them to now attack f1 and imply that there has to be some sort of connection to road cars otherwise any validity is undermined, is quite ridiculous.

I have never witnessed such empty grandsstands at Monaco - reducing prices may increase spectators, but also, perhaps f1 is finding its natural level of spectators.

There was a time when Monaco Grand Prix was not swamped with grandsstands as it is today - people could roam around the track and watch casually as well.

Being penned in is not attractive.
