Peugeot has explained why it passed on the opportunity to use its reserve driver for this weekend's Spa World Endurance Championship round in Jean-Eric Vergne and Stoffel Vandoorne's absence.
A desire to maximise seat time for the regular drivers of its 2024-spec 9X8 Le Mans Hypercar, which is making only its second race outing prior to next month's Le Mans 24 Hours, was cited by technical director Olivier Jansonnie as a justification for not giving reserve Malthe Jakobsen a WEC race debut.
'But I understand the team's importance of keeping the team environment and the team spirit with a brand-new car and to prepare themselves as best as possible for the 24 Hours of Le Mans which is the big target for everybody in this sport and especially the team as well.
