F1: Toyota Gazoo Racing top first practice times – Gulf Digital News
Toyota Gazoo Racing’s #8 crew of Sebastien Buemi-Kazuki Nakajima-Brendon Hartley kicked off their final race weekend of the 2021 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC) by topping the first free practice session yesterday in the season-ending Bapco 8 Hours of Bahrain at Bahrain International Circuit (BIC).
It was a positive start for the trio in their GR010 Hybrid Hypercar as they make one last push for the drivers’ Hypercar world title against teammates and current points leaders Kamui Kobayashi-Mike Conway-Jose Maria Lopez in Toyota Gazoo’s #7 Hypercar.
Buemi-Nakajima-Harltey had a best lap time of one minute 48.490 seconds with 40 laps completed after 90 minutes under BIC’s bright state-of-the-art floodlights. They were 0.408 seconds quicker than Kobayashi-Conway-Lopez, who are currently ahead in the drivers’ title standings by just 15 points.
