@lazycouchpotato Toyota Motorsports adviser Alex Wurz says he had a missed call from Hirakawa "today in the morning" (probably about 10 hours ago) and then Hirakawa wrote him a message saying he would be driving. So it definitely was decided over night.#f1 #formula1

    @GeneralEmergency @bob they seem to use the proper channels, yes. The fact that the FIA president is quite publicly open about supporting his favourite driver (remember when he had the stewards withdraw a penalty against Alonso?) is weird though. Of course, there have been FIA presidents who favored a certain team on the grid before, though.
