It was interesting to note Gerhard Berger's comments this week on his departure from Toro Rosso. While it's all too obvious that the main issue was money, or more specifically the lack of extra funding on top of that provided by Red Bull, Gerhard made the point that now was the right time to get out - he couldn't see Toro Rosso bettering what they achieved in 2008.
