    Comments after the Hyperpole at Spa

    Spa-Francorchamps 09 maggio 2025

    Three Ferraris will start from the front positions at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, scheduled for Saturday, 10 May, at the historic Belgian circuit hosting round three of the FIA WEC 2025. The starting order will see the number 50 499P of Fuoco–Molina–Nielsen lead the field, ahead of the number 83 of Ye–Kubica–Hanson, and the number 51 of Pier Guidi–Calado–Giovinazzi.
    Here are the comments after the Hyperpole session.

    Antonio Fuoco, 499P #50: "I'm really pleased with this pole position – Ferrari's third in a row this year – which is the result of the excellent work done by the whole team. We managed the tyre warm-up phase well, allowing us to maximise the car’s potential on the flying lap. It’s great for me to be starting at the front again, but looking ahead to the race, we know it’s going to be long and complex. We expect several rivals to be very competitive on this track, making the 6 Hours a wide-open challenge among multiple manufacturers. For our crew and for Ferrari, the aim is to score as many points as possible."

    Antonio Giovinazzi, 499P #51: "Starting third on the grid is a great result, and I’m happy to see three Ferraris lining up at the front here at Spa. The weekend didn’t get off to the best start for us, given the accident I had in FP2, which cost us a lot of valuable time preparing for qualifying. But I want to thank the team and the mechanics, who managed to get the 499P back on track by the end of the same session. Looking ahead to the 6 Hours, we know the race won’t be easy, and we expect several crews to be in contention."

    Antonello Coletta, Global Head of Ferrari Endurance and Corse Clienti: "The result in qualifying, with three Ferraris at the front and our third consecutive pole of the season, is a testament to the strength of our team and the 499P, which once again proved it suits this track well, as seen in previous years.

    At the same time, based on the Hyperpole results, we are aware that some of our rivals may have focused more on race pace and preparing for the race itself, which promises to be a very complex challenge. Tomorrow, we expect several constructors and crews to be fighting for top positions. As for us, as always, we’ll do our best to score crucial points for the world championship standings."
