Team Penske President Jonathan Diuguid said Porsche Penske Motorsport will continue to use team orders when necessary despite the post-race tensions from the Mobil 1 Twelve Hours of Sebring.
Porsche Penske Motorsport recorded a 1-2 finish at Sebring, but Kevin Estre, full-time driver of the No. 6 Porsche 963, called out teammate Felipe Nasr, the race-winning driver of the No. 7 Porsche 963, for not respecting team orders when Estre had led with about an hour remaining.
Diuguid told media that team orders are common across manufacturers at Sebring and said Porsche Penske Motorsport will continue issuing them to secure race victories and protect overall results.
Julien Andlauer, full-time co-driver with Felipe Nasr on the No. 7 Porsche 963, confirmed drivers held a post-race meeting to discuss respect and keeping internal matters internal, and Diuguid said the team reviewed driver, strategist and management interactions and set expectations ahead of the Acura Grand Prix of Long Beach.
