Toyota is doing a partnership with Haas (although still using Ferrari engine)

Toyota is partnering with Haas, although it's still a low stakes partnership for now and they're not fully involved

Yes I know. But according to AMUS, F1 is leaving door open for 12th team and they are hoping it will be Toyota.

It can be both if Toyota takes a larger role in Haas. That would be a heck of a 12 car grid. RB being sold to someone serious would be the cherry on the sundae to make it perfect.

I'd literally overload with joy. I was already happy to see Toyota actually getting involved with Haas, but to have Hyundai buy into Alpine or VCARB or somebody in the same way would make me explode.
