Toyota to leave F1

It was announced today that Toyota will not be competing in the F1 championship next season. They are withdrawing due to economic issues, but will continue to participate in racing at a grassroots level.

This leaves another 2 drivers without a drive. Trulli and Glock, as well as the new guy Kobayashi.

There are only about 8 drivers confirmed for next season, and a dwindling number of teams. They are down to 12 now, 3 new ones, and 9 who have competed in previous championships.
