Coldasice should be qualifying in the top 10 on the grid

So Toyota anticipated their drivers making mistakes during the race (in this case specifically Kamui Kobayashi in the #7) and ending up with penalties. This is most impressive, and a further sign Toyota now understands what it takes to win Le Mans. The fact that the team was not surprised, that the team had anticipated this and that this was on the team's list so to speak means this was part of the extreme measures Toyota implemented in the off-season, and very likely was one of the simulated random problems during the off-season testing.

Toyota now seems to have the right mindset for future Le Mans attempts. This is the strategy that all top winning teams have used. To be able to not be phased or rattled as a team no matter what the Le Mans race throws at you, and to get through any such problems in a calm, collected and quick manner.
