Sebastien Buemi

Sébastien Buemi is a Swiss racing driver who competes in the FIA World Endurance Championship for Toyota Gazoo Racing, sharing the #8 TR010 Hybrid Hypercar with Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa. He has been part of the Toyota factory program since 2012, making him one of the longest-serving drivers in the team's history.

Buemi has built one of the most decorated careers in endurance racing. He has won the FIA World Endurance Championship four times and claimed overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans four times, with wins in 2018, 2019, 2020, and 2022. He also won the Formula E World Championship in the 2015-16 season with Renault e.dams, giving him titles across two distinct disciplines.

In 2026, the #8 crew arrive as defending race winners after a strategic victory at the season-opening 6 Hours of Imola, ending a long wait since Toyota's previous WEC win. With the updated TR010 Hypercar and the same driver trio that has delivered back-to-back Hypercar titles, Buemi and teammates are among the strongest title contenders at Le Mans this year.
