I am not convinced Toyota prefer the 8 car to win. If I were Toyota I'd rather have the 7 win it.

which to be honest, the grid will look pretty similar next le mans in P1 (hopefully) so unless the privateer cars find some massive gains in speed it will be a similar parade at the front of the grid.

Probably. But then again, if I were Toyota and we win 2018, then having Alonso in 2019 or not doesn't really bother me.

You, maybe, but Toyota's marketing people are probably salivating with the possibilities. Although, toobeefair, Alonso already said he would do the whole "double season" in any case.

It depends what you want the paper headlines to be.

If #8 wins, it will be: Alonso wins Le Mans
If it is #7, then "Toyota finally masters Le Mans"

Mind you, *I* prefer Alonso to win, I'm just not convinced Toyota really do.
