The financial crisis also hit the very popular Formula 1 races, when most teams are devising new cost-saving measures and have to save where possible. A few years ago, the Japanese Toyota team also paid for the lack of money, which had to withdraw from F1 races.
But now everything is different and, according to secret sources, the management of the car company has begun to think again about returning to the famous motor sport. If it really happens, from 2014 racing single-seaters with the Lexus brand, which is the luxury division of Toyota, will be racing around the circuits.
The automaker decided to return to F1 racing for several reasons. The main one is the media attention that now abounds in the competing brand Infiniti , which is the luxury division of Nissan. Another reason could be that Toyota is interested in increasing the importance of hybrid technology in F1 races, mainly the KERS system. Hybrid technology is Toyota's exclusive theme, which further supports its return to F1.
For now, this is only speculation, but secret sources say that everything is allegedly already ready. If this really happens, the return of the Japanese brand to F1 racing will mean another rival that will try to mix with the existing competition.
