For sure in the particular moment in was stupid to make that move. But in the end they still won and that's all that counts. I think they would have made other decisions about their next year drivers if they wouldn't have won.

The Peugeots weren't always faster than the Audi's at LM 2011, it changed depending on the track conditions. For a large part of the race, the Audi was quicker.
Also an interesting, if extremely hypothetical scenario, if Lapierre did race for Toyota at LM and then that car wins it would make a fantastic redemption story. But I highly doubt that he will and the replacement would most likely be a Japanese driver for marketing reasons but only if Toyota know someone as fast as Lapierre would be
