Has everybody seen the news bit about women in the Toyota team? About 13% of the staff are women with some of them having crucially important functions.
Now, I'm all for women's rights, equality, breaking the 'glass ceiling', etc. BUT! I have to question the timing of Toyota's 'PR campaign': Toyota currently sucks as probably never before in their short F1 history and NOW they publicize their women's role in the whole operation? That's one step towards laying blame on them, at least in the eyes of many hardcore macho F1 fans I imagine.
