Nicholas should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

Frentzen has 24 hours to decide...

I think it's highly unlikely though. Why do the equivalent of JV to BAR?

Toyota will not make a fool of themselves like Jaguar. They may not be the fastest in their first season, but they are not going to do a BAR and claim they'll win races.
That's because they have:

a, not wiped the floor with their rivals in single-seater racing in their first races first time out

b, a whole year of testing, and 2 aborted F1 projects in the last decade

c, hindsight

d, Headquarters in Germany, home to motorsport greats such as Zakspeed and EuroBrun.

Despite that, Salo thinks he will qualify 4th in Melbourne...
