Ferrari Finishes Fifth and Seventh at 2026 Le Mans After Challenging Race

The 94th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, held in front of 350,105 spectators, saw Ferrari's number 51 499P of Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi finish fifth, while the number 83 of Yifei Ye, Phil Hanson, and Robert Kubica placed seventh. The number 50 car retired due to an electronic issue during the night. Ferrari entered the race expecting a difficult challenge, as the circuit's long straights and chicanes favored power and acceleration, areas where the team struggled.

Despite the uphill battle, the Ferrari drivers and team remained committed, experimenting with strategy and tire choices to maximize their result. The fifth-place finish secured 20 points for the manufacturers' championship, and the team emphasized that the result goes beyond the standings, reflecting their determination and teamwork.
