Think Toyota are quite happy with white Jeri, after all White is the traditional International motor racing colour for Japan just as British Racing Green, Italy's Rosso Corsa Red, and Bleu for France. 
On your second point I reckon Toyota are investing low cost on periphery to keep options open in case other car brands make market strides due to rise in their popularity from engine development.
Who knows maybe we'll see a Toyota PU in a Haas in the coming years
True, I did forget that White is the Japanese racing colour. Makes since since the 'American' HAAS team already raced under Russian colours lol. I thing Toyota's approach to Haas is great, they're inching in, ready to take advantage if things go well, and back off if things go poorly (assume the same thing for Ford at Red Bull). Just the GR logo is aimed at enthusiasts. I suppose its no different than AMG for Mercedes or Alpine for Renault. Maybe advertising Gazoo Racing makes more sense than Toyota, given I'm not going to buy a GR, nor Alpine, nor Aston Martin, nor Ferrari, nor Audi, nor AMG. Hell, I'm not even going to buy a can of Red Bull....

I thought that there was no way he'd get out of that without major burns. Looking back his exit from the flames did look like something out of an action movie.

https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article/first-look-haas-show-off-their-new-livery-for-2026-f1-season.5h7RFMnGXxpcmIVY3D56XiToyota Gazoo Racing Haas has unveiled what their 2026 car will look like. It's a clean look, I was expecting more red, both with Haas and Toyota corporate colours. The big GR on the engine cover looks nice, but certainly feels a little weird for a title sponsor. Are we bringing back the days of win on Sunday, sell on Monday? Is someone really going to watch Haas come in 6th and 9th and say, hell yeah, I'm getting me a Supra?

I wouldn't call the source reputable, no one else seems to have this story.
Assuming it's true, if Williams has come up with something better, i.e., the existing chassis design won't race at all, then it's a good idea to skip a test, and save the money for other spending under the cap.

Rumour is Williams may be heading for repeat of 2014 and fail to get car on track for first test.  Let's hope rumour is hot air & not true. https://www.f1oversteer.com/news/one-formula-1-team-might-not-make-it-to-barcelona-for-2026-testing-they-just-cant-get-it-right/

Totally agree Jeri. I was certain Romaine was dead and then he just stood up. Props to the guy who helped him over the barrier.

Of all the technological advances that motor racing brings to the world, safety may be top of the list. Understanding what happens in a crash, how to measure it, how to stop it is all very difficult and I love that F1 leads the way on it.
Romain Grosjean's crash, to me, represents the pinnacle of F1 technology. His crash activated so many safety features (as well as demonstrating some that weren't working). So many aspects of that crash would have killed him, and yet he basically walked away.
