Toyota accepts Ralf's decision

On Monday Ralf Schumacher announced that he will no longer try to extend his contract at the Toyota Formula 1 team. The German said he is now searching for a new challenge with a team that runs a competitive car.

Speaking about Ralf Schumacher's decision Toyota F1 team President John Howett said: "We accept Ralf's decision and we wish him the best for the future. Fundamentally, this does not change Toyota's position; right now we are still looking at the drivers market situation. This just means that Ralf is not part of our list of candidates anymore and, as said, we will make an announcement as soon as we are ready to announce our full driver line-up for the 2008 season."
