Toyota bounced back with the #8 car in FP2 as they claimed top spot, however, qualifying practice was a disaster for the Japanese manufacturer at Le Mans.

The #8 car of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastien Buemi, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa could only manage P11, meaning they won’t take par๊t in today’s Hyperpole session.

Speaking at the end of day-one, Buemi said: “It is a very disappointing day because we had a good 🥂car and we didn’t make it to Hyperpole.

“Obviously, we will try to put that behind us and in sec𝄹ond practice we 🥂worked hard to get the most out of the session.

“I💟t was nice to be back driving at night here and we’re making progress on our race preparations.”

Buemi’s disappointment was shared by fellow⛄ ex-F1 dri🔴ver Hartley, who said: “I didn’t make the Hyperpole and we ended up 11th, so I am really disappointed.

“On my first lap I d💙idn’t really get it together and I had a bit of traffic at the end of the lap as well. ﷽In the end, that was my best lap.

“After that there was traffic, there was a mistake from me with a spin. I was a bit unlucky and just couldn🌃’t get a clean lap.

“But that’s racing; other drivers will have a similar𓄧 story and think they should have been in Hyperpole ඣtoo.

“Now we move on to the raꦑce and focus on that. I think we have a car tꦍhat can compete so we will work on that.”

For the #7 car of Kamui Kobayashi, Nyck De Vries and Jose Maria Lopez, all lap times were deleted due to Kobayashi 🦂causing a red flag following a trip into the gravꦕel at Karting.

Kobayashi sai൩d: “Qualifying didn’t go well. In t⛎erms of performance, we were pretty good, but I went off with two minutes to go and caused a red flag.

“All my laps were deleted so we 🎐didn’t get to Hyperpole, and we have to start at the back ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚof the Hypercar grid which is very challenging but it’s how it is.

“It’s a long race and we’ll push to get the best out of it. I feel pretty good in the car and the lap times in qualifying were competi꧑tive so I hope we will have a better experience at the weekend.”

Lopez, who was recently called up to replace Mike Conway following the British Driver’s injuries that were caused by a cycling accident, called it a day of ‘ups an𒐪d downs’.

Lopez added: “It was a day of ups and downs, but🌳 we did some positive work in free practice𝓰. The car feels pretty good, even at night.

“We h💮ad a strong car for qualifying and Kamui did🌟 a great job but unfortunately, we had the problem.

“Honestly, it doesn’t change much. Everyone wants to be in Hyperpole but it’s such a lon🎶g race, so I am not worried or disappointed. We’re look💜ing forward to it.”
