Despite investing huge amounts of money into the project, the team's performances have so far been mediocre. In 2004 top designer Mike Gascoyne was hired. It was expected that this would lead to an upturn in the teams fortunes, but this has failed to materialise thus far. The team's current drivers are Jarno Trulli and Ricardo Zonta. Cristiano da Matta was sacked in the middle of the 2004 season after failing to live up to his initial promise. Ralf Schumacher and Jarno Trulli will race for Toyota in 2005.
