Quotes at half distance:

Sebastien Buemi, Toyota Gazoo Racing: "We came here with a real possibility to be more competitive. We decided well before the race to double stint the tyres and put Porsche under pressure. It's hard to double stint the tyres but we went for it."

Andre Lotterer, Audi Sport Team Joest: “Seems like we picked up a huge piece of rubber and we had to clean out the duct. We could not afford to drive with this issue. We just have to take it home now, it's been a crazy six-hour race. At one stage we were running second and third, but it's now a character-building race for us."
