Toyota-Williams F1
It doesn't sound right, does it? Why would Toyota want to supply a team that can and is beating them? And why do Williams want to split themselves in half like that again (as they did with BMW)? It seems they have both compromised heavily: Williams want a better engine than Cosworth, and the Toyota was the only one around (perhaps they were hoping for a Mercedes?); Toyota wanted a better team than Midland to supply, and Williams were the only ones looking (perhaps they wanted Red Bull?).
What we have to look out for, of course, is how will it affect driver choice? And is Adrian now allowed to support Williams?

Despite the question as to why from a sporting point of view you would want to do this.
I think they were tempted into this for purely marketing reasons. I think they will brand the engines that they supply Williams as Lexus engines. Thus getting double the advertising for not very much more expenditure.

I'm not sure what to do now. In a perverse way I rather enjoy the crushing disappointment when one Toyota explodes/dies/spins off on Lap 3 and the other struggles gamely on, only to finish just outside the points. I imagine that's what it's like to support Tottenham Hotspur.
