After coming close to scoring a maiden Hypercar podium in Saturday’s finale, Jota led the opening two hours of running at the Bahrain International Circuit on Sunday, with Will Stevens setting the quickest time in the team’s solo #38 Porsche 963 customer LMDh car.
The 1m48.625s that Stevens set at the beginning of the session put Jota eight tenths clear of the remainder of the field, even though his lap was two seconds slower than the time with which Brendon Hartley claimed pole in the #8 Toyota GR010 Hybrid.
