24H Le Mans - Mixed feelings for Robin Frijns, who led for a long time: "I honestly don't quite know yet..."

Robin Frijns put full pressure on the 24H of Le Mans Toyota TR010 Hybrid with Kamui Kobayashi in the final phase. The BMW driver seemed to be heading for victory for a long time with his teammates Rene Rast and Sheldon van der Linde. The last safety car brought the Toyotas back into the race. This gives the Limburger mixed feelings, because victory was so close.

“Honestly, I don't really know what to say yet,” said Frijns about the race. “Second place at Le Mans is a fantastic achievement, but it still hurts a bit that victory was so close. Due to the last safety car, the Toyotas, which had problems just before, came back into the race. That was difficult for us, because they had slightly more speed than us. We led for a long time, but ultimately second place was the maximum we could achieve after the safety car.”
