Toyota launches 2007 challenger

[davewilson]

Toyota officially presented its 2007 car to the world’s media in Cologne on Friday.


The Japanese team took the wraps off the TF107 as it admitted that it had “under-delivered” in 2006 and targeted a major improvement in the coming season.


Although the new car retains the 'zero-keel' front suspension layout, technical chief Pascal Vasselon said there were almost no carry-over parts from the TF106B.


The squad vowed to address the reliability issues that bedevilled it last year, which probably cost it fifth place in the constructors’ championship to BMW Sauber.


Vasselon said retirements had masked the team's improvement in the latter half of the season, when he claimed it made significant inroads on the front-runners.


And Toyota’s F1 president John Howett set his sights on a maiden grand prix victory as the team's ultimate objective for 2007.
