CRITICS think that Toyota is unwittingly making a mess of its Formula 1 plans by siting the team in Germany and using a lot of staff without any F1 experience, but the Japanese automobile company's arrogance will not be dented by the announcement from Japan that it has been named the top company of the century in a survey conducted by Nihon Keizai Shimbun. The survey was conducted with 410 top businessmen in Japan. Sony was second in the poll with Honda and Canon both included.
