First race of FIA World Endurance Championship finished at Sebring.
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)
this long pause feels like off-season again...even worse i would say, no news at all
they definitely have to find something for next year to fill the gap
For the 1st season of a new regulation, having a long pause at this moment is not bad even if it can be quite boring for fans.
It allows teams to work on the car, especially when they were late like Hyundai, and to work a little more quietly on specific issues such as the hybrid problems seen in Sweden.
I think that, if it is used properly by FIA and teams, it will help to improve the level on the long-term (better than being always in short-term workarounds to have short-term improvements).
But definitely yes, it is only valuable for this season, not the next ones. A return in Mexico would be good.

Tanak. Briefly at Hyundai in 2020 with Loeb and of course at M-Sport from 2017-18

Ostberg? or is the definition too loose - M-Sport/Ogier 2017, Citroen/Loeb 2018.
In 2017 Östberg was in his own team, just entered through M-Sport, but they didn't collaborate at all.Quote:
