The Briton insisted that there is no weight on the shoulders of the #7 Toyota car crew completed by Kamui Kobayashi and Jose Maria Lopez because the outcome of the championship is not in their hands.
Sebastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley and Ryo Hirakawa in the #8 Toyota GR010 HYBRID Le Mans Hypercar will take the 2023 WEC drivers’ title if they finish second to their team-mates in the Bahrain 8 Hours on Saturday.
“I don’t feel any pressure, because we don’t have control of our destiny,” Conway told Autosport. “I don’t feel that anything is on the line.
“We are just focussed on winning the race, and whatever happens with #8 happens."
Conway and his team-mates fell 41 points behind the drivers of the sister Toyota after their retirement from the double-points Le Mans 24 Hours in June.
He believed that they were out of the title race ahead of the final, three-race leg of the championship starting at Monza in July.
“I felt going into Monza we were going to have to look after #8, but we’ve had a good run [with victories in Italy and then Fuji in September] and clawed our way back,” said Conway.
“We’ve just got to go out there and give it our all.
