Bourdais, first victory with Peugeot

Le Manceau had been waiting for this victory since the start of his collaboration with Peugeot . Often well placed, never a winner, Sébastien Bourdais had to be content with second place, like at Sebring this season and at Le Mans last year. Finally, the former pilot of F1 was able to climb to the top of the podium with the company's Lion suit. A good omen a month from 24 Hours of Le Mans, the most dear race in the eyes of Sébastien Bourdais, who was terribly disappointed not to have won in 2009.

After this race, the Frenchman savors the pleasure of victory, especially after such an ordeal. “ Fortunately there aren?t many races like this, confides Sébastien. It was very difficult, as is often the case in Spa. We went with medium and it turned out to be the right choice. We have always made the right choice of tires. Pedro made a small mistake at the start but he recovered remarkably afterwards. I did two stints in the dry, so we must especially congratulate my two teammates who experienced difficult conditions. The car was very good, including perfect balance. »

Disappointed until then at not having won with Peugeot, Sébastien Bourdais is now free of a certain pressure before going to Le Mans. “ After Le Mans and Sebring which did not please me, this result feels good. I finally win with Peugeot! I hope this bodes well for Le Mans. Thanks to the entire Peugeot team. » From now on, the objective of Manceau is to confirm in a month, on his land, in front of his supporters, during the most legendary endurance race in the world.
