“We don’t even know if he will run again, where and when. This will be known in the coming days or weeks. So we don’t even know if he will run with us in the future. We always look at what is best for the team. We have a lot of good drivers.”

Kevin Enstre, who is part of the Porsche crew in the Hypercar class, also spoke about the test made by the German.: “I only saw him a little before I got in the car. He was talking to an engineer, checking telemetry and listening to the radio.

“He was very enthusiastic and wanted to learn everything that was going on. He did what he had to do. Normally we listened carefully to his comments. In general, he agreed with what the regular pilots said, but it was interesting to discover the nuances of his kind of driver.”
