Olivier Jansonnie, technical director on the 9X8 programme at Peugeot Sport, described the third place for Mikkel Jensen, Paul di Resta and Jean-Eric Vergne in Sunday’s Monza 6 Hours as “quite logical and well deserved”.
He explained that it followed the increase in competitiveness of a car that has struggled since its debut at the corresponding WEC race last year. The year-on-year improvement was already evident in practice and qualifying at Monza.
