Let's be honest: Toyota are only in F1 becuase their bitter rivals Honda are.

Change "are" to "were" and there's absolutely no other reason for them to flush half a billion dollars down the toilet every year just to scrape the occasional lucky podium.

If the FIA push ahead with the standard engine this will give Toyota the perfect opportunity to pull out without losing face.

Even without the standard engine I can't see them remaining in the sport for more than a couple of years unless they hit gold next season and start winning races.

You can bet that right now Williams are urgently considering an alternative engine supplier.
