    Just being a realist mate. I don't like to see it happen at all.

    It's always the motorsport division that takes a knock though when a car company/manufacturer is doing badly.

    Obviously I hope it doesn't happen, but it wouldn't surprise me to see Toyota pull out before the start of next season's F1, as much as it wouldn't surprise me to also see Ford pull its plug from M-Sport.

    Sh1tty times for the motorsport fraternity

    It is all very sad hope that it pans out for you Andy. F1 has been in fairy land for a while Bernie is talking about drivers just having Gold Silver Bronze whats the point of Force India turning up. Single make engine, whats the point of Renault BMW Ferrari Mercedes Toyota turning up

    They want to cut costs and make the racing more exciting. Just get rid of the wings.

    Perhaps BMW next to go and I agree I cant see Ford in WRC for much longer

    Although it doesn't mention anything about it there, it's certainly not looking promising for Toyota's future involvement in F1.

    Bad move Subaru. They went from being a niche manufacturer due to rally success.

    Lately, they have managed to release a car so ugly I'd rather walk, and have pulled out of the sport that made them.

    Nice one guys. Clever move indeed.
