Default Props to Toyota F1 Team

Not quite a podium but a fantastic drive by Scrumptious (aka Jarno Trulli) to 4th. I'm ready to beat them up when they fail but I'm also ready to give them props when they produce.

An excellent finish for sure. He might have been a half lap behind the winning Ferrari, but Trulli beat Hamilton and was just behind the other McLaren. Certainly a better result than Australia.

It was a great drive by him, really, Hamilton was coming on HARD at the end but he held him off.

5 pts for Toyota!!

Awesome work by Toyota, and great driving by Trulli. Too bad that Glock got taken out of the race by Rosberg, as he would have had a good finish too likely.

Looks like it should be a good season for Toyota.

I hope they do well in Baharain, anything less than a podium is unacceptable

hijack I'm not a Bourdais fan, or a Cart fan but I was hoping for better results from him.

Ferrari and Toyota were the only ones to test at Bahrain in pre-season testing, so good things should happen.

A very nice drive by Trulli, I enjoyed that whole race.

Sepang has usually been kind to the Toyota/Trulli combination though, so I hope this wasn't just another early-season fluke from them. I hope they'll be able to keep challenging for podiums as the season progresses.
