Looking at the lap times during the race it seemed to me that the Ferrari and Caddy were turning similar laps to the Toyotas in large portions of the race, mistakes/crashes dropped the Ferrari further away than the result looks, i think the Caddy had a drive through as well. The Toyotas seemed to gain time during the yellows in relation to those behind, maybe they were better on the restarts? I think the Toyotas were also better on the double stint tyre runs where the others were losing out on the long runs, this is because Toyota have a lot more set up knowledge in the bank on their car. Porsches had a couple of niggly problems and suffered more than the other top teams with tyre deg. Toyota will be beaten this year on pace alone..........
