🗣️ 'It's never nice because I consider him a friend, but for a win at Bathurst I decided to throw everything at it' The drivers have their say on the all-Mercedes clash that decided the Bathurst 12 Hour ⬇️ B12hr
GruppeM driver Maro Engel and SunEnergy1 Racing's Jules Gounon came together in the final hour of a dramatic Mount Panorama race, as Engel tried to reclaim a lead he's lost due to a slow stop.
Despite it being a part provided by the event, not then team itself, race officials ordered the unit to be changed during the final scheduled stop. Even before the race was over Engel's co-drivers began to react to the situation, Mikael Grenier suggesting there was little Engel could do at The Chase and labelling the delayed stop as unfair.
"We lost the lead because of that which I think is not fair because they can still see telemetry in the garage. Then Maro had to go for it." "First of all, I apologise to Maro because last week we won the biggest race in the world and this week we fight hard to win a race and unfortunately we had contact," he said.
