IMSA: MOBIL 1 TWELVE HOURS OF SEBRING

March 15, 2025

Kevin Estre

Mathieu Jaminet

Press Conference

NATE SIEBENS: Good evening, everybody. We'll start with our second-place finishers. Mathieu Jaminet, Matt Campbell and Kevin Estre.

Kevin, start us off. Podium finish here for the team again for you guys. Talk about maybe what it means for this group to have the success you've been having.

KEVIN ESTRE: Yeah, definitely a good day, great day for the team. 1-2. Very strong, yeah, operation. No mistake in the pits. No penalty. No contact. This shows that we were all doing a good job here.

But for us, the No. 6 was just not good enough today, not fast enough compared to the sister car sadly. They had a little bit more pace than us. Yeah, it was pretty much a pace race with not too many yellow.

Yeah, that's it. Our car was okay, but not good enough. So a little frustration, for sure, from our side, from my side at least. After a very close finish in Daytona, quite a close finish here. Yeah, we were missing a little bit of pace here.

Yeah, still good points for the guys. Great execution again. We just have to analyze and know where we were missing a bit of performance compared to the sister car. At least we beat everyone else. So that's the good point, I guess.

NATE SIEBENS: Mathieu, obviously as Kevin mentioned, good points. You're in a championship battle. Also your teammate. How do you reconcile that with also wanting to win this race?

MATHIEU JAMINET: Yeah, I mean, at the moment I have mixed feelings, you know? For sure it's really good for the championship. This is helping us on the big picture because it's a long year. I know how painful it can be to have a bad Sebring after last year and be behind on points to the sister car. At least know we are on their toes.

It's going to be an exciting year and exciting battle I guess between the two cars, as long as we can fight. To the end hopefully.

Today, like Kevin said, they had a bit more pace. So, yeah, we need to analyze because that car was a bit stronger. Whoever was in, we just could not match. That's, yeah, hurting a little bit, to be honest.

But yeah, congrats to them because today they were just better. Yeah, just hungry now for more and for winning, because after Atlanta it was a short finish with placing second. And Daytona, then here. They are always scoring big points. I want to taste Victory Lane again.

NATE SIEBENS: Let's come over to Matt. Matt, you and Mathieu have had a lot of success in IMSA competition previously. Reunited this year for the full-time season. Picking up where things left off a few years ago here?

MATT CAMPBELL yeah, for sure. So far 100% podium streak back together. That's a good thing (smiling). Third in Daytona and second here. For sure we want to be on the top step next one.

Yeah, it's good being back with Mathieu after a couple seasons away. Have a lot of experience together, driving many years together in many different championships.

It's good fun, but looking forward to the rest of the year, hopefully getting some more good results and consistent results, thinking of the big picture for the championship.

Yeah, we're only two races in, so it's a long way to go.

NATE SIEBENS: Thank you, guys. Congratulations.
