“We Want to Show Everyone at Suzuka How Far We've Come in a Year”
“Hello, everyone. Thank you all for supporting Panasonic Toyota Racing. It’s time again for the Japanese Grand Prix.

For us, Suzuka is always a particularly special Grand Prix event. It’s the chance we get to show the Japanese fans the progress that we’ve made over the past year. This year is extra-special, since we’re fighting for 3rd in the Constructors’ Championship, and we’ll continue to work on developing our cars to the very end. We haven’t given up; we won’t give up!

At Suzuka, we’ll be doing everything in our power to reach the podium—it will be our way of giving back to the fans who have given us so much support this year. We’ll do our best, and we hope you’ll cheer us on.”
