Aiming to make the TF107 'more driveable'Toyota has moved to quieten rumours that
Ralf Schumacher will be dropped at the end of the season by insisting that the team will help its German driver through his current lack of pace.
31-year-old Schumacher has been comprehensively
outshone by his team-mate
Jarno Trulli so far this year, leading some observers to argue that it is up to the beleaguered driver to adapt to his car in such a crisis.
BMW Sauber's technical director Willy Rampf, however, observed that it is not principally up to a top driver to change his style to suit a difficult race car.
"A driver must be able to work in a way that is comfortable for him," Rampf told Motorsport Aktuell, "because only then is he able to perform best."
Toyota Team President John Howett agrees.
The Briton said: "We have to help Ralf and make the car more driveable for him."
