168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jenson Button made his first-ever appearance in the Hypercar class at Le Mans on Sunday, finishing ninth overall.

Ferrari took victory with ꦉthe #50 car, while Button’s #38 Hertz Jota was the fourth Porsche across the line.

Button and teammates Oliver Rasmussen and Philip Hanson remained on the lead lap and were the🎶 last car to do so.

Heavy rain hit the Circuit de la Sarthe on multiple occasions, which🃏 brought with it great ch꧂allenges.

🧜So much so that Button admi⛦tted it was one of the toughest races he’s ever been involved in.

Button said: “That was one of the toughest races I’ღve ever driven in such conditions! It was truly brutal out there; I was constantly pushing the car to the absolute limit and couldn’t relax for a second.

“Maintaining concentration for such a long time 🃏is pretty exhausting. The result isn’t wha🔴t we were hoping for.

“But we brought both cars home on the lead lap, which is someꦕthing to be proud of.”

The top Porsche at le Mans was the #6 which finished fourth๊ overall, na🥂rrowly missing out on a podium.

For the World Enduran💞ce series leaders, fourth was not the result 𒈔they wanted after starting on pole.

Kevin Estre, who put the #6 Porsche on pole, said: “Fourth place and missing 🌃out on the podium by just one second – that’s not the result🍒 we were aiming for. 

“We 🅰were in it to win and drove a good race w𝕴ith just one mistake in tyre choice in the early stages.

“While we fought our way back up the🤪 order, in the end, we couldn’t find the pace we needed to be in contention for overall victory.

ꦬ“We must keep learning and come back stronger next year.”
