Ralf-Toyota deal: as good as done
Despite rumours to the contrary, we understand that Ralf Schumacher's deal with Toyota is as good as done and the German will be with the team earning a very decent salary for a long period of time.
Despite rumours to the contrary, we understand that Ralf Schumacher's deal with Toyota is as good as done and the German will be with the team earning a very decent salary for a long period of time. This is a deal which makes sense for Ralf because leaving a top team like Williams (which does not want to pay him what he wants) to join a developing team such as Toyota means must mean a decent salary for a long period of time. That way he can benefit from the machinery as the team improves. Ralf is a good choice for Toyota as he has experience as a race winner and has a high enough profile to give the team some more publicity as and when results improve.
