Sebastien Buemi is a bit down
cast about his WEC season — but wants to help Toyota win the manufacturers championship.
During the pre-race 8 Hours of Bahrain press conference, the Swiss driver expressed disappointment with the overall result, citing a mix of bad luck and penalties in previous races. Despite winning the 6 Hours of Sao Paulo in July, the team faced setbacks in subsequent races, including penalties and finishing out of the points. Buemi and his teammates, in the #8 Toyota, are focused on aiding the team in winning the WEC manufacturers’ title. Buemi, who has a special connection to the Bahrain circuit with four wins, is determined to maximize performance and tire management for a strong finish in the upcoming race. Looking to close the 10-point gap to Porsche, the team is gearing up for a challenging battle to retain their championship crown.
