Donīt think he does anymore. Didnīt mean that. However itīs natural for a father following his sons career. Ask me... ;)Quote:

Sometimes in the beginning it seemed like Petter had more control over the car than the Hyundai engineers and the car was not very good, many of the same problems coming back several times. Things got a lot better when he got the new engineer Gerard De Jongh from Monza.Quote:

Didn't say what driver it was, but I'm pretty sure it was JML.
Interview with Biasion:

In italian, but these guys usually add english subtitles for their international audiance. I haven't seen it yet, but they made a few videos with ex Abarth people that were very interesting.

Ogier's Richard Mille Racing Team finished 12th out of 15 in the LMP2 category (13 cars finished without troubles). Halfway through the race, he said he couldn't find the rythm with the car. In his last stint though, he managed to improve his lap times compared to his teammates.
Charles Milesi: 38 laps, best 1:52:33 (Milesi is 2021 LMP2 champion, drove way less because the race was red flagged twice)
Sebastien Ogier: 83 laps, best 1:52:67
Lilou Wadoux: 82 laps, best 1:52:90 (First race in prototypes for her, just like for Ogier)
