'It just didn't go our way. It just wasn't supposed to happen I guess.' 💬 Porsche's Michael Christensen bemoaned losing ground to Ferrari in two FCY periods during the WEC Bahrain finale - costing the 92 car a shot at the title ⬇️
While admitting that Ferrari was the quicker of the two cars competing for championship honours in Bahrain, Christensen couldn’t hide his disappointment over the timing of the two full-course yellows that prevented Porsche from having a shot at the title.and Antonio Fuoco] a little bit so we pitted a bit early [to] undercut because we knew they were going to pit after to cover,” Christensen told Autosport.
“We tried to think of a situation where we could maybe challenge in a different way with strategy and we did so and that meant we pitted a bit differently. [But] one lap after [it was] full course yellow again. The #51 Ferrari began to develop a gearbox issue with Calado at the wheel during the seventh hour and his team-mate Pier Guidi had to complete the race in fifth gear in order to nurse the car to the finish.
“But I guess it is how it is. They still managed to finish and complete their wishes for the championship.”
