“On his debut, it was a pity that he didn’t win any stages, but he can come back next time when he decides to stop F1 and win special stages, for sure,” he added.
Your boss at Toyota, glyn hallassured that it will be a disappointment if you don’t run with them: “I think it’s probably with us. I would be upset if it weren’t. But it’s your choice.”
