A little off topic, but last time I checked Toyota owns/is Lexus. And Lexus has some really nice cars. Nothing compares to the GTR (duh…) but they have improved in a lot of places. I’ve driven in a IS350, they’re nice.
About the money spent compared to the points won, it is a little sad that Toyota tops the pay list but is doing so poorly. But money doesn’t always buy the best designers/drivers (Glock and Jarno are very good drivers, but they’re no Massa/Alonso/Hamilton, imo). I’d personally rather work for Ferrari over Toyota, even if the pay was more at Toyota. Its the prestige and history.
Don’t forget, sponsor money in F1 must be insane. It wouldn’t seem like it on this side of the ocean, but I’m pretty sure European companies pay a pretty penny to be placed on the Ferrari cars (where they get a good chunk of the 400mill).
