Presuming any of this actually happened  |
I'm no team manager, but aren't the physical dimensions of drivers important aspects of endurance driver pairings these days?
I can understand organising an A car and a B car from 2+ years ago, and putting your best drivers together regardless of stature eg. G.Tander/Bargs, L.Tander/Wall (Well ok, Wilson $$ may have decided that one).
From here, it looks as though Mr Jones is being put in the better car, although it has always been considered that the BOC-plastered mount is the team's flagship.
