Toyota pretty close to finishing at #3

#

I have said this a few times before - somewhere before the beginning of the season and also soon after the season was underway - that Renault and Toyota are both going to do well this year.

Renault of course got the drivers' champion with Alonso and are pretty close to winning the constructors' championship too.

And Toyota, though not noticeable, are in #4, just 17 points behind a struggling Ferrari. With two races to go, and with the way Ferrari’s season has gone, it is not unimaginable that Toyota will overtake Ferrari to get #3 in the standings.

That would be a great finish to a slightly underrated team. Hope they improve their stability and reliability next year and ask Trulli to understand that the races end on Sunday afternoon, not Saturday afternoon. He seems to qualify well only to fumble in the race.
