Brown is a very bright CEO. Toyota is proven time and time again as a formidable manufacturer. It would be amazing to see Toyota making it's return into F1.

- When Toyota was in F1 they had the largest budget of all the teams. Too bad they can't bring that kind of fire power to the grid with the cost cap!

It would be pretty amazing to see Toyota back on the grid along with the addition of Audi and Ford! We'd have a proper engine constructor battle going.

- Plus the benefits of basically making their own engine and develop it together with the car.
  
  This is for sure the next logical step, like aston is doing with honda.
  
  The future looks bright.

  Irony is they tried with Honda to rebuild their glory days together and it failed miserably. I hope Honda has the same level of success with AM that they are seeing with RB.

- Let's dream big here for a second.
  
  Mercedes
  
  Ferrari
  
  Alpine/Renault
  
  RBPT/Honda
  
  Audi/Porsche
  
  Toyota
  
  Ford
  
  Cadillac/GM
  
  And who else? Cosworth? BMW? Fiat/Dodge/Chrysler/Maserati?

It seems to me this might be just a data sharing program, as to what I learned from the WEC community on reddit. McLaren used to use Toyota's wind tunnel which I think is in Cologne. McLaren might not be using that wind tunnel anymore and in return they take Rio as a reserve driver to still have some data shared between the two manufacturers.

- McLaren just posted on insta about a new wind tunnel....
