The official entry list confirms Wittmann will join Sheldon Van Der Linde and Rene Rast in the Number 20 Bmw M Hybrid V8 for the Brazilian race, highlighting the challenges teams face when managing driver commitments across different racing series.

Driver Lineup Adjustments Across Teams

Several Teams are grappling with similar conflicts. Peugeot’s Stoffel Nursing and Jean-Eric Vergne, along with Toyota’s sebastien Buemi, are also expected to miss the Sao Paulo race due to the Formula E clash. Despite the challenges, some drivers like Nyck De Vries will prioritize the Interlagos event, skipping the Berlin Formula E race to maintain a full-strength crew for Toyota’s Number 7 car.

Norman Nato remains listed in his Number 12 Hertz Team Jota Cadillac V-Series.R, indicating he plans to participate despite the Formula E situation.

Two-Driver Teams And Strategic Changes

A total of seven cars will feature two-driver lineups for this race. Besides Toyota’s Number 8 entry and both Peugeot 9X8s, the Aston Martin Valkyries and Porsche Penske motorsport cars will proceed without thier originally planned third drivers. This strategic decision impacts team dynamics and race strategy.

Kevin Estre and Laurens Vanthoor will pair up in the Number 6 Porsche 963 for the first time this year, while Michael Christensen and Julien Andlauer will team up in the Number 5 car.

Pro Tip:

Keep an eye on how these adjusted driver pairings affect pit stop strategies and overall race pace. Teams with fewer drivers may need to conserve energy and manage tire wear more carefully.
