Either Bamber is a bigger talent, or something/someone else gave Bamber the upper hand (Webber?)

It could be the case that Bamber is more familiar with influential people in the Porsche program than Christensen is, but given the almost meteoric speed at which Earl has risen through the ranks I think it'd be fairer to day that he is seen as the bigger talent.
But that's not a slight on Michael, I reckon he will be in a 919 sooner rather than later.

Toyota supercap can only hold a fraction of total 6 MJ If I would have to guess only around 1 to 1.5 MJ. |
An issue of RCE this year had a feature on Toyota which mentioned the size of the supercap. I can't remember the figure now though (I chuck them as soon as I've read them as well) but 1MJ sounds familiar.
