Kazuki Nakajima admits it is possible Toyota will follow its Japanese manufacturer rival Honda out of formula one.

The Japanese driver, who is backed by Toyota, Williams' semi-works engine supplier, told reporters on Thursday he hopes the carmaker resists the menace of the global financial crisis and continues its eight-year presence on the grid beyond this season.

"I hope that they will not finish formula one before they achieve something. That's my opinion as a fan," he said at a Williams media event at Grove.

Nakajima, 24, added: "But with the situation at the moment, I think it's really on the edge. You never know what's going to happen."
