I still don't know why Toyota is in it, they spent millions upon millions of dollars for what, no race wins and a handful of podium in 7 years?
It's going to be sad seeing BMW leave (mainly because that's one less manufacturer in the championship) and if Sauber doesn't pick up a different manufacturer, I hope Kubica can land a seat with a better team than he can actually peform with.
