Toyota issues incredibly emotional letter after ‘unforgettable’ Hirakawa F1 debut

Ryo, congratulations on your F1 debut! And most of all, thank you. From the bottom of my heart. Ever since Toyota withdrew from F1 in 2009, there has been a feeling I have carried with me.

I believe every racing driver dreams of one day driving the fastest car in the world. I wanted to find a way to make that dream come true for our drivers. I wanted to see a Toyota driver race in F1 again.
