It will be interesting to see if his driving tactics will be different from when he drove for Peugeot

[JamesHayward]

I would say so, and I certainly hope so. I understand that was more 'team orders' than Anthony's decision.

I doubt he would be able to get away with the same tactics when not in a french car.

Agreed. I rate him.

Given Olivier Quesnel's apparent fall from grace, I would have a lot more respect if AD came out and told us how it really was, e.g. "Look, I was driving how my employer told me to drive". Otherwise he'll remain 'tarnished' for me, which is a shame because I think he's a blindingly quick driver and will likely end up winning Le Mans at some point in the future.

I'm also hoping that Toyota's approach to racing is more Audi than Peugeot, which I'm pretty sure it will be. I'm anticipating a truly sporting contest between those two teams when Toyota get their car fully developed.

as above i hope he's not like he was in the pug because that damn right made me lose all but every bit of respect for him. quick or not, under team orders or not, grow a pair and do the right thing.
