it would be great for Toyota , but at what expense? Toyota has alot more to prove as far as a cunstructor to worry about hiring talent to drive it. Kimi going to Toyota would be like winning the Special Olympics. No matter how good you are, you're still a retard.

Bar a few rounds, the toyota has been a top performer this year but the drivers weren't able to fully exploit the cars pace numerous times. He's not the best development driver but a fast driver like Kimi would force the team to provide results because theres no excuse not to win with a driver of his championship caliber. Look what Schuey did for ferrari, and Alonso for renault. Once again, not putting him on their level as far as development goes but for pace he'd expose engineers who wouldn't want that ridicule coming their way. Just my .02

If this works out, Toyota should throw in a haircut clause b/c it's beginning to get a little ridiculous.

I came across a report saying the talks with Toyota were just a management strategy to raise the retainer they're expecting from McLaren. Money #1 in F1
