Brendon Hartley – #8 TOYOTA GAZOO Racing GR010:
“It’s great to get back in our Hypercar and fantastic to be back at the Circuit de la Sarthe. Obviously this is a different car to what we have raced before here so we are learning a lot. The GR010 HYBRID really came alive here, especially in the fast parts, so it was an enjoyable day. We have learned a lot and we are going in a positive direction. So I am looking forward to the week ahead.”
