Thank you very much.

Well, we heard some fascinating stuff from Pierre Genon there on the Toyota deal.

Scott, how far do you think this Toyota deal, which was signed, what, about 18 months ago it started, wasn't it?

They've got the title, the titled sponsorship, effectively, of the team.

How far can it take Haas?

Yeah, that's a good question.

I mean, ultimately, Toyota is using this to develop its own facilities and personnel, etc.

at the moment.

I don't doubt there will be those within Toyota who are trying to use this as a launch pad for something more officially Toyota, if you like.

You know, you could ask, could if F1 does the V8 engines for 2031, 2030, whatever year that happens to be, whatever form that is.

will there be people within Toyota pushing for an engine program?

That seems to be possible.

Could Toyota decide they want a works team again?

Because obviously it was 2009, the last time the factory team was an F1.

Again, there will be people within Toyota that want to do that.

And Haas...

could be the team they do it through or it could be a team that working with they sharpen their facilities so they can do it themselves or with with someone else i think the really important thing is there's nothing set in stone this isn't some well strategized phased in program it is genuinely a this is an opportunity for a mutually beneficial partnership

That's what they're working through at the moment, and that might be it.

And if that's it, that's plenty, because that's doing a huge amount for Haas, which can do more and more stuff with TWG, and that will help it be a better team.

So I feel like this is one of those relationships that could go in all sorts of different directions, but...
