I wanted to share some thoughts and give credit when deserved.
When Toyota annonced Latvala as team principal for 2021, my first reaction was : oho recipee for disaster. Knowing the rock solid mental stability of Latvala, i didn't see how he would be a good manager and how he would have the ability to manage the drivers...
End of his first season : 1 & 2 in the driver championship, almost guaranteed the manufacturer championship, 2 victories for the young Kalle, promising resultat for Katsuta, a team that looks well balanced, and a performing car. Hats off
Let's see if he can acheive such success next year with the new era. This will be the true test as Team Manager.

I don't think many people actually believe JML is the 'Team Principal' in the real sense of the word.
He's been hired as a media 'front man' and does a good job of that.
Anyone who thinks he's in the office preparing business plans and running budget meetings is being a bit naïve
