Post-race The top three teams in each of the four classes appeared on the podium to collect their trophies and spoke to the media in separate press conferences. Buemi commented it was Toyota's primary objective to win its third Le Mans race. Nakajima said he was satisfied that at least one member of his team had won the race, while Hartley added that winning with two different manufacturers surprised him. Senna said that Rebellion's second-place finish was an "amazing achievement", and Menezes called sharing second overall "something special". Conway admitted he was upset to lose the opportunity for victory, saying: "This place hasn't been the kindest to us at times. Three wins on the trot for the team, we've got to be happy about that for the team, but on our side of the garage we just feel like another one got away from us." Pascal Vasselon, Toyota's technical director, said he felt sorry for the No. 7 crew and acknowledged they were faster than the No. 8 team. Albquerque was congratulated by the president of Portugal via telephone call on becoming the first Portuguese driver to win the 24 Hours of Le Mans. He added, "It's my seventh time and I've been here quite a while. I was just waiting for when it's going to be my day. I've been searching for this podium and it's a dream. LMP2 is a great category with many good drivers. With 24 cars it was extremely competitive. We never knew who would be the winner." Hanson said he thought he lost the chance to win, "It was a very hectic last 10 minutes of the race and it made it for me. It's not as exciting if you're coasting
