Toyota Panasonic racer Ralf Schumacher is finally waving goodbye to the team. The famous racer said that he has to move on to another place but he did not mention anything about when and where he will be transferring. He is doing the rest of his contribution to the team he joined back in 2005. He leaves the team after his race in Brazil.
Ralf Schumacher commented and was quoted saying, "Having been a Toyota driver in the past three years, I opted for looking for a new challenge. I joined Toyota with high expectations. On the one hand, I regarded it as a major and exciting challenge to be involved in the development of a new racing car."
"On the other hand, I also learned to like the Japanese style of living, during my long stay in Japan before entering Formula One. And I still get on well with the Japanese mentality. But I am waiting for years for a competitive car."
"It goes without saying that I'm extremely motivated when it comes to racing at Shanghai and São Paulo. I will give my very best to at least finish the mulled season on a high, with and for Toyota," he shared. He had been a Toyota racer is trying to pick up some points on the last two races with the team.
Ralf Schumacher did not mention where he is going after he left Toyota. "I'm going to have several conversations in the coming weeks," he said. "I will announce my decision when the season is over. For me, the financial aspect is far less important than the chance of being involved in the development of a car and being successful afterwards."
Several sports men were connected to Toyota team next year just like Felipe Massa and Fernando Alonso. Both were rumored to be a part of the team. But, the new GP2 champ and BMW Sauber tester Timo Glock is said to be the most potential contenders. But Jarno Trulli is contracted for Toyota in 2008.
