Toyota has "rejected" the idea of following the example of fellow
carmakers Honda and BMW.
When Honda withdrew from F1, the Japanese carmaker agreed to hand over its
Brackley based team to managers including Ross Brawn and Nick Fry for a
symbolic British pound.
And when BMW made the decision to leave the sport, it was sold to the
Qadbak consortium.
But team president John Howett said those options have "already been
discussed and rejected" by the Toyota Motor Corporation.
"Maybe these ideas can be reopened but, at the moment, it would appear
not," he told the Times.
