    Practice session II (e.g., Grand Prix of Australia), count 'um, that's four Toyotas you'll see, in F1's top eight:

    Practice session III, count 'um, three Toyotas in F1's top 5:

    Shades of IMSA in the mid 1990s... calc'ing the deltas from practice sessions I, II & III, things could not look rosier. Toyotas are looking unbeatable. We'll know more tonight, ex post qualifying.

    The Brawns, a half second faster than everyone... Perhaps later in the year we might see Toyota's maiden's win.

    Well after watching the qualifying and then reading about a late marshalls descision concerning the "illegaly flexible" rear wing on the Toyota I don't see it happening this weekend.

    But who knows despite a few poor laps they finally managed to improve at the end, maybe in the next few races.....
