Toyota not “getting over exited” over WEC Imola triumph
David Floury, the technical director at Toyota Gazoo Racing Europe, emphasized that their victory at the Imola 6 Hours was achieved through strategic decisions and teamwork, rather than outright speed, as Ferrari had the edge in pace. Despite the lack of pace compared to Ferrari, Floury expressed dissatisfaction with the performance of the GR010. He praised Kamui Kobayashi for his exceptional driving in challenging conditions to secure the win for the team. Ferrari’s strategic errors during the race, including a late switch to wet tires, contributed to Toyota’s success. Floury also discussed the discrepancies in straightline speed between the Toyota and Ferrari, hinting at an ongoing imbalance in the Hypercar class of the WEC.
