What the hell has happened to Toyota?

They locked out the front row in Bahrain, but didn't make it out of Q1 in Monaco? Will they recover? Have they lost their best opportunity for heir first win? Could the same huge drop happen to Red Bull or Brawn?

    I think their car probably doesn't like the low speed corners, their pace wouldn't drop off that violently so soon. their car could be short of down force and high on quick corners due to mechanical grip.

    Another thought, I'm not sure but they may be carrying a longer chassis than most other teams?

    They SHOULD be back in the top 10 in Turkey.

    I think they probably have the opposite problem to Mclaren. They are one of the best teams in the high speed corners, but just don't like the low speed corners.

    I think that RedBull and Brawn are safe, as their cars are pretty good all-rounders.

    Perhaps the lack of performance is down to Toyota withdrawing funds from development, and the eventual pull out of F1 for good

    I think they will be competitive later on in the season.
