COLOGNE, Germany (AP) - Formula One driver Ralf Schumacher signed a three-year contract with Toyota on Wednesday, meaning he will leave BMW-Williams at the end of the season after five years.
Schumacher's move also means Williams will have two new drivers next season. Juan Pablo Montoya is switching to McLaren-Mercedes.
Toyota's two drivers this season are Olivier Panis of France and Cristiano da Matta of Brazil.
"We still haven't decided who will be Ralf's partner next year," said Toyota team chief Tsutomu Tomita.
Schumacher has won six races for Williams.
The brother of six-time Formula One champion Michael Schumacher is recovering from injuries suffered at the U.S. Grand Prix in Indianapolis on June 20, when he broke two vertebrae, and hopes to be back at the Hungarian GP on Aug. 15.
