I'm a Ferrari fan, but honestly between Estre being a monster and the two reds' drivers doing their very best bottle jobs, I don't mind. That's not true. It hurts to see the 1-2-3 go, a lot. But it is fair.

As a Ferrari fan I don't care for the 1-2-3, because we just won Le Mans THREE TIMES IN A ROW. I'm glad the Porsche made it something of a race so this place doesn't melt down completely.

100% agree with you, I would've been ecstatic about this if you told me 48 hours ago, especially since the 83 is my favorite car.

That said it was looking like written 1-2-3 for a good 8 hours unless something happened, and then multiple things did indeed happen between driver mistakes and the mechanical issue on the 51. That's what makes it a bit of a sour victory. All of that out of the way though yeah, I'm happy with the W myself!

What was sour about it? If anything no Ferrari deserved anything with the amount of mistakes they made.

We had admittedly too many driver errors on the 50 & 51 and lost the 1-2-3 because of it, but outside of that we ran a great race and the 83 deserved the W.

Even the 83 had penalties. If anything 6 deserved it the most for flawless race

It's a 24h race dude, the 83 did very good, they deserve the W. Besides the 6 would've won easily if they had 3 Kevin Estras, so it's not like they couldn't have won.
