@UK
The Renault news piece is not giving positive signs, and looks like Renault is also going out just as I says yesterday. I hope they stay in F1 for as long as possible for them to stay. The only thing positive coming out of Toyota's exit is now the teams doesnot need to detune the engines for next as the slowest engine of the grid has left F1. Toyota could face legal action by FIA because they have signed the concorde agreement which says they are part of the grid till the end of 2012 and leaving the grid means they have to give a proper answer of breaking the contract.
