That was a really smart choice of words, nice PR stunt to make them look like the underdogs and favourites for the fans. But in reality they can not be quicker because they showed the performance in testing and they can not cheat and show more performance in race. Simple as that.
Privateers were given a very generous EOT brake, with those rules a manufacture effort would wipe out the competition. So it should be obvious that they can not be faster than Toyota, but I hope they will be on-pair and breathing down hard on Toyota neck, pushing them to "destruction"
