丰田否认2027年与奥孔达成WEC协议
这家日本制造商不想破坏其车手阵容内部的和谐
奥孔在F1的选择正逐渐减少，而丰田不会在世界耐力锦标赛（WEC）为他提供席位。
在哈斯车队本周官宣将在2026赛季结束后结束与这位30岁法国车手的合作之后，媒体上关于奥孔职业生涯下一步去向的猜测甚嚣尘上。
随着阿斯顿·马丁确认将继续留用阿隆索和斯特罗尔，凯迪拉克实际上成为奥孔在一级方程式中最后一个现实的选择。
这也正是他还与转投世界耐力锦标赛的可能性联系在一起的原因——可能加盟丰田。但丰田顾问亚历山大·伍尔茨现已向Motorsport.com姊妹刊物Formel1.de的YouTube频道明确表示：“这些传闻毫无根据。”
伍尔茨表示，丰田在勒芒及其世界耐力锦标赛项目上通常会做“相当长远的”规划，目前不打算对现有的六人车手阵容做出任何调整。
“因为当你把三个强势个性放进同一辆赛车时，他们需要时间去彼此接受，去找到正确的调校和正确的合作方式，并达到这样一个阶段：他们不再在内部互相竞争，而是真正激发出彼此的最佳状态。这是一个非常重要的区别，”这位奥地利人解释道。

"这是丰田的优势之一：我们拥有这样的车队架构和车队文化，而这种东西不可能一夜之间改变。
"首先，我们签的是长期合同。其次，你不可能随便从外面引进一名车手，直接把他塞进车手阵容里。那样做恰恰有可能破坏我们自2012年以来一直建立并悉心呵护的文化。维护这种文化是我作为顾问、作为与车手密切合作的人的主要职责之一。
他还补充道："但不管你怎么看，这些合同都是长期的，而且我们明年的车手阵容已经百分之百满了。"
丰田目前参加世界耐力锦标赛（WEC），一台车由迈克·康威、尼克·德弗里斯和小林可梦伟驾驶，另一台车由塞巴斯蒂安·布埃米、布伦登·哈特利和平川亮驾驶。这家日本厂商刚刚在家乡富士赛道赢得胜利，在惊心动魄的尾声中，本地英雄平川亮完成了决定胜负的最后一段驾驶。

Toyota denies 2027 WEC deal with Esteban Ocon
The Japanese manufacturer doesn't want to jeopardise the harmony within its driver lineups
Esteban Ocon’s Formula 1 options are gradually running out, and Toyota will not provide one in the WEC.
After Haas officially announced this week that it will end its partnership with the 30-year-old Frenchman at the conclusion of the 2026 season, media speculation has been rife over where Ocon’s career might take him next.
With Aston Martin having confirmed that it will continue with Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, Cadillac effectively remains Ocon's last realistic option in Formula 1.
That is why he has also been linked with a possible switch to the World Endurance Championship – potentially with Toyota. But Toyota advisor Alexander Wurz has now made it clear to Motorsport.com sister publication Formel1.de’s YouTube channel: "There's nothing to these rumours."
Wurz said that Toyota generally plans "relatively far ahead" when it comes to Le Mans and its WEC programme, and that no changes to its current six-driver line-up are planned.
"Because when you put three alpha personalities in one car, it takes time for them to accept each other, to find the right set-up and the right way of working together, and to reach a point where they don't compete against each other internally but actually bring out the best in one another. That's a very important distinction," the Austrian explained.

"That's one of Toyota's strengths: we have this team structure and this team culture, and you can't simply change that overnight.
"First of all, we have long-term contracts. And secondly, you can't just bring in another driver from the outside and slot him into the line-up. That would risk disrupting exactly the culture we've been building and nurturing since 2012. Maintaining that culture is one of my main responsibilities as an advisor and someone who works closely with the drivers.
He added: "But whichever way you look at it, the contracts are long-term and our line-up for next year is 100% full."
Toyota currently competes in the WEC with Mike Conway, Nyck de Vries and Kamui Kobayashi in one car, and Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa in the other. The Japanese manufacturer has just won its home race at Fuji, following a thrilling finish with local hero Hirakawa at the wheel for the decisive stint.
