Wurz is obviously the development mastermind but he does lack some race pace. Nakajima is the token Japanese guy and I guess we can be glad that Toyota HQ is satisfied with just 1/6 of the driver crew being Japanese.

And then there's Davidson, I still feel like he's not fully clicking with the car yet. I haven't seen a single completely convincing performance from him in the car yet. He's not slow, but he was such a star in the Peugeot and he's just not there yet with Toyota.

It's wishful thinking but I wish Toyota would put together an all-out attack crew for a third car for Le Mans next year. Something like Bourdais, Montagny & Pla... wouldn't that be something?

Each driver seems to be strong in areas. Like I said before, Davidson was the fastest at LeMans, and at Brazil. Buemi was fast here. Nakajima last year was just as quick as either in the #7, and fastest at Fuji. Read Toyota's pr, Davidson had the least running in the dry. Thats why he was only in for one stint. Ironic though his stint was the longest fuel run, but indicative of his lack of real practice and slower pace? Audi had the same situation, Duval and McNish seemed superior, but TK isn't a slouch by any means.
