Panasonic Toyota Racing will run on Bridgestone tires in 2006.

“After a rather successful 2005 season, our sights are now set even higher up the grid, and we feel that Bridgestone is ideally suited to the technical demands of F1

in the future and will be the best match for our 2006 car,” said Tsutomu Tomita, the chairman of Toyota Motorsport. “Toyota is serious about winning in F1, and we

feel that the switch to Bridgestone tires is the best option in the medium-long term.”
