Ralf urges fans to remain patient

Toyota driver Ralf Schumacher believes his fans don't need to get worried as his team Toyota is working its way to the top. The Cologne based team has yet to win its first race in Formula 1.

On a trip for the team's sponsor Kingfisher Airlines in India Ralf Schumacher told reporters: "We are not getting as much success as we would have hoped for, but the future looks very promising for us. Formula 1 is a very difficult racing series and we need to remain patience. It is clear that you can't buy success nor experience."

It has been said that Toyota is the biggest spender in Formula One and the team has yet to score its maiden win. "It will take a while. Other teams have been around for many more years. We are the only one from the past decade that started a team from scratch."
