Ralf Schumacher earned Toyota their first point of the 2007 season by finishing in eighth place in the Australian Grand Prix, one place ahead of team-mate Jarno Trulli. However, Trulli then finished in seventh place in both of the following two races in Malaysia and Bahrain, scoring 2 points in each. Schumacher, meanwhile, failed to score in either. In the Spanish Grand Prix, he was involved in a collision with Alexander Wurz of Williams, dropping him to the back of the field. He eventually retired with a mechanical problem. Monaco proved to be another struggle for Schumacher, as he qualified 20th and finished the race in 16th, 0.9 seconds behind Trulli.
Ralf Schumacher lost control of his car as he was racing on the oval section of the track at more than 190mph. He slammed into the barriers, rear end first and was knocked out instantly. Spectators, commentators and cameras looked on helpless as Ralf layed motionless in his car. He was stricken for over 10 minutes as the medical team gave him assistance. M Schumacher carried on racing through bravery, he was constantly on the radio asking on the progress of his younger brother. Ralf ended up suffering whiplash and 2 broken sections of his spine.
