Sébastien Buemi: “It feels amazing to have won three times. I’m feeling great. I think my teammates did an amazing job. We spent a lot of time preparing. It wasn’t easy, we started off with a puncture, then brake issues and everything seemed to be against us. We lost two laps changing faulty parts. At that point, we thought we’d lost our chance of winning. But we pushed hard and an hour later our luck changed; we ended up leading and then won the race. It just proves that anything can happen at Le Mans.”

Brendon Hartley: “I’m proud of my teammates and all the team. I was a steep learning curve for me and Sébastien and Kazuki helped me get to grips with the car. It feels great, but hasn’t really sunk in yet. It doesn’t feel the same as previous wins; we miss the fans. But it feels great to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the second time, despite the mechanical issues we had.”​

Kazuki Nakajima “It was special to be in the TS050 Hybrid for its last race and to be in the car for the last victory at Le Mans three in a row. The race was up and down – or down and up! Everyone did a great job, the whole team. Somehow we had more luck than the other car. It was a very long race. Once the issues started, we only wanted to win. It was quite tough but I’m really happy to be a part of this team and am looking forward to the future.”​
