Toyota TF105

The Toyota TF105 was the car with which the Toyota team competed in the 2005 Formula One World Championship, and it became the team's best Formula One competitor in its history. Work began shortly before the end of 2004 under technical director Mike Gascoyne, with the chassis designed by Gustav Brunner and the engine by Luca Marmorini. Jarno Trulli finished second in the second and third races in Malaysia and Bahrain, the team's first podiums, and Toyota ran second in the standings after three races. Trulli added another podium in Spain and took Toyota's first pole position at the Indianapolis Grand Prix, where both cars retired after the formation lap when the Michelin teams withdrew over tyre safety. Ralf Schumacher took third in Hungary and the team's first fastest lap in Belgium, and the car was driven to 88 points with five podiums.
