*Temperature control of tire was the cause by which the pace of #8 didn't become stable. Race engineer ordered to Kazuki that he should shake the car and warm up tire.
*Rear balance trouble seems the cause for Lopez's crash.
*When Lopez crashed, they found out that hybrid system was alive.
*Crash impact even came to steering of #8, so it took time to exchange the steering unit.
*Porsche adopted the clever strategy they saved the fuel mileage and push 2, 3 laps at clean place. |
So they took a spare steering unit from the #8 car to fix the #7? The rear balance issue must be from the roll bar that broke on the #7.
Btw,it seems from Lopez's twitter that he has been ordered to rest for a couple weeks. So he's probably not going to be testing the car this week.
