Ferrari may have had pole, but Toyota has leapt to the front after an hour at LeMans24. LeMansCentenary
It was the #8 Toyota GR010 HYBRID of Sebastien Buemi that held the advantage over the #51 Ferrari of James Calado at the end of a first hour of action at the Circuit de la Sarthe interrupted by a safety car period following a crash for the Action Express Racing-entered Cadillac.
Buemi made the pass on Nielsen just before Indianapolis on the opening lap before the race was neutralised for Aitken's crash. But Conway in the #7 Toyota was soon coming under pressure from both Ferraris, and Nielsen was able to ease his way back into second heading into Mulsanne corner after 53 minutes.
Felipe Nasr was fourth in the best of the Porsches, although the Brazilian picked up a warning for making contact with Buemi's Toyota at the very first corner.
