Toyota has participated in the Formula One World Championship since 2002. Despite investing huge amounts of money into the project, the team's performance has so far been mediocre.

In 2004, top designer Mike Gascoyne was hired. It was expected that this would lead to an upturn in the team's fortunes, but this has failed to materialise thus far. Toyota ended the 2004 season with a driver lineup of Jarno Trulli and Ricardo Zonta; Cristiano da Matta was sacked midway through the year after failing to live up to his initial promise.

Ralf Schumacher and Jarno Trulli will race for Toyota in 2005.
