Tomita cautious with new car predictions

Tsutomu Tomita

Toyota Motorsport chairman Tsutomu Tomita is being cautious about making any predictions for the new TF106 his team launched today. The TF106 is an evolution of the TF105, apart from the completely new V8 engine. 

"We are still at a very early stage of development with the TF106 but having our new car ready with three full months before the first race of the season in Bahrain, I hope we are demonstrating our will to succeed in F1," Tomita said. 

Jarno Trulli and Ralf Schumacher will put the new TF106 through its paces in its first test this week in Barcelona. The team's four-day test starts tomorrow.
