Aero changes planned for the TF106Ralf Schumacher has urged F1 observers to assess the 2006 pecking order when Toyota have brand new bodywork up and running later this month.
With the new TF106, Schumacher and Jarno Trulli have recently looked little more than potential midfield runners in winter testing, with Renault, Honda and Ferrari seemingly dominating the top order.
But an all-new aerodynamic specification will be debuted at Barcelona later in February, and could also be concurrently run at an Italian venue in the very same week, according to speculation.
Late last year, Toyota became the first of Formula One`s eleven teams to run a 2006 car, while the plan was always to launch a second aero package prior to the first race. Following that a B-specification car is expected in May.
"When the new package arrives in the coming tests, we will see how competitive we are going to be,"
Ralf Schumacher said. "Aerodynamically, the car`s not ready yet."
Toyota will test at Jerez this week.
