One of Alonso's old sparring partners, Webber, was pleased for Porsche but on his second year out of Formula One had been hoping to add Le Mans to his impressive CV. His car was given a one-minute stop-go penalty after eight hours because Brendon Hartley, the Australian's team-mate, was judged to be speeding under yellow flags. The penalty seemed harsh, putting them out of position and out of the running for the victory, but Webber simply said that his car was not quick enough.
