Why is Toyota still hiring a guy who repeatedly kicked its ass, in WEC.

Because he still wins for (or does very well as a quick Wiki showed me) for TOMs, who arent the same people as toyota who make the LMP1 in cologne?

A lot less bitchy than many others I came across, on the FP, so no big. :)

Back on Lotterer, he is racing for TOM's , a lot of that team's financial support comes from Toyota, the same company who is financing the WEC running, TMG division.

Maybe they hope a second job, will distract him, from WEC, like is happening with Toyota's very own, Nakajima, and will place Toyota, in a better position against Audi.

Distract him from the WEC. Not a bad plan. IIRC didnt a couple of SuperFormula (formula Nippon) drivers skip the last round of the WEC for a championship run in superformula? or have i completely misremembered.

I knew TOMs was toyota, but wasnt sure how factory they were? if they are on a par with TMG it does seem very odd indeed. also odd that Audi would let one of their prized assets go and race for the enemy.
