Some bits from the "Culture" editorial on Pitpass:

"I cannot fathom why Toyota cheats, yet cheating is endemic in its corporate culture. As soon as it gets into motor sport, Toyota throws all of its values out of the window."

"I also, personally, believe that Toyota is rotten to the core."

"I, personally, want to see Toyota out of Formula 1. Toyota does not have a place in sport. Toyota does not understand what sport is about."

I wish the guy would stop skirting around the issues and tell us readers how he really feels about Toyota!

The rest is here: (the quotes above barely break the ice on all the things he had to say about Toyota)

The writer has nothing but kind words for Mr. Soichiro Honda though.

 

wow, beautifull stuff!

ohhhhh simon?

 

toyota cheated how? i'll go read the article

 

wow.. a very good read.. but I don't see any proof

this guys's got the HATE on Toyota big time..

He makes Toyota out to be very unscrupulous like David Richards and the Jense deal
He explains , how Toyota got kicked out of the WRC, their defence in the Ferrari lawsuit and how many of the big wigs are being charged in Germany including Ove Andersson.

He also claims, Toyota helps their mechanics cheat on exams. i guess this could explain why mr2 mkII looked so foreign to them.. heh heh

It actually brings sense to the lack of results.. but I honestly don't know what to believe as this guy doesn't show me any proof to his claims.. its pure subjectivity..

he sounds like a bitter boyfriend who just got dumped from his girlfriend..

regardless, its bad , bad press that has affected the F1 dept..

but on the other side, part of me, does believes this.. and makes me less of a Toyota fan..

 

that writer lawrence is a bit pissed at toyota, you think? good read though.
pitpass looks like a good site but i didn't see any pitbabe link.

 

pitpass is a very bad site for F1 news actually..

very biased..

one week they have Montoya going to Renault,

this week they have Renault seeking Kimi..

that about sums it up..

 

Cheat? I thought only Ferrari cheated...

I haven't read the article, but I think "cheat" is a strong word....people should stop using it in F1 - it hurts the sport as a whole (not that anyone really cares about that)....

 

most teams motto "its not cheating if you don't get caught"

 

i see what you mean, after reading over some of the other items.

 

Oh how true...
