Team Penske President Jonathan Diuguid says Sebring’s late team-order wave produced a 1-2 finish for Porsche Penske Motorsport but left Estre and Nasr at odds. The organization will review the communication and plan a debrief with all drivers in the coming days to restore harmony before the next round at Long Beach.
Porsche Penske Motorsport dominated the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring, taking the overall win with the No. 7 Porsche 963 driven by Felipe Nasr, Julian Andlauer and Laurin Heinrich to deliver a historic back-to-back Sebring victory for a team, leading 273 of 343 laps (about 75% of the race). Manthey Racing locked out GTD Pro with a Porsche 1-2, while Nasr/Andlauer moved 80 points clear in the early championship standings. In LMP2, Mikkel Jensen and Hunter McElrea won for United Autosports in a first-ever IMSA 1-2 for the team. Lilou Wadoux became the first female Sebring winner since 2016 in AF Corse Ferrari 296 GT3 Evo in GTD, and the event posted a record attendance; penalties affected other contenders, and the series heads to Long Beach next.
Kevin Estre claims Felipe Nasr violated team orders by passing him late in the Sebring 12 Hours to win for the No. 7 crew, with Nasr, Julien Andlauer and Laurin Heinrich taking the victory while Estre and co-drivers finished second amid fuel-saving strategy concerns.
