Toyota Williams F1 Lives
Williams F1 have announced the much rumoured deal with Toyota for the supply of engines in 2007.
The three year deal was signed Wednesday night, and will give the team manufacturer support again after loosing the BMW engine partnership.
The team will run the same specification RVX-07/8/9 engines as the works Toyota team. Both sides of the deal are keen to stress however that this is an engine supply deal only, and not a development partnership. However with Toyota having two world class teams doing the development work things are bound to rub off.
John Howett (Toyota Motorsport President) said "We are pleased to be selected as the engine provider to Williams and look forward to establish a strong relationship with them, We look forward to both teams using each other as a comparative benchmark from which each can improve its own performance and to competing with each other at the front of the grid."
