Le Mans: Two hours before the finish, Toyota is in the lead.

      Less than two hours remain until the finish of the Le Mans marathon, and after another wave of pit stops, the Cadillac hypercar with the number 12 has returned to the lead. But soon, Will Stevens, the British driver of the American team, turned back onto the pit lane, and the Toyota hypercar with Nyck de Vries at the wheel took the first position.

      In second place is BMW No. 20, currently being driven by Sheldon van der Linde, who is 15 seconds ahead of Sébastien Buemi, the factory driver of the second Toyota crew in hypercar No. 8. Let’s remember that the Swiss Formula 1 veteran and four-time WEC champion has won at Le Mans four times, but today his chances of repeating that success are not very high.

      Stevens returned to the track in fourth place, while Robert Kubica in the Ferrari hypercar of the private team AF Corse rounds out the top five, with the Polish driver quickly pulling away from the factory sport prototype 499P.

      However, as we know from history, the most interesting events often occur in the final hours of this legendary race, so much can still change as we approach the finish.
