If they did, it didn't take long for them to decide: Decision to promote Antonelli took ‘five minutes’ – Wolff | RACER
I don't entirely trust Toto's post hoc rationalisations. The headline misses that plan A was for Lewis to continue and plan B appears to have been trying to get Max (and that took longer than 5 minutes). Did they really not talk to Sainz at all? There would have had to be a different plan for Antonelli if any of those things were going to happen. So, saying his first instinct was to do what has come to pass is a nice positive thing to say but its fairly meaningless really. As in, its easy to say now.
