is a further 12 points away in second position, 25 points behind Buemi and his team-mates.
"It can really skew the championship; the whole double-points thing for Le Mans is a bit annoying," he said."When they pulled back from that, it made the championship much more exciting." The fact that a repeat of the 2019/20 and 2021 titles for Conway, Kobayashi and Lopez is now effectively out of reach"only simplifies the task for the remaining three races", added the Briton.
Conway conceded, however, that the #7 Toyota may have to play a backup role to boost the championship chances of the drivers in the sister car."They have a good chance to win it and obviously we'll help them if they need it."Kobayashi, who is also team principal of the Toyota Gazoo Racing WEC squad, said that after the disappointment of Le Mans the team's"big priority now is to win both world championships".
