Le Mans 24 Hours: Ferrari survives late drama to claim back-to-back wins
Ferrari Le Mans

FERRARI proved they have finally put an end to the recent dominance of Toyota in the 24 Hours of Le Mans race today as their No 50 car, driven by Antonio Fuoco (Italy), Miguel Molina (Spain) and Niklas Nielsen (Denmark), finished first in the hypercar category.

The Ferrari AF Corse took victory by a margin of just 14 seconds after 311 laps of an incident-packed race featuring multiple spin-offs, more than a dozen cars retired and a relatively close finish, with eight drivers still within a lap of the lead vehicle when the last circuit began.

Ferrari had ended Toyota’s run of five consecutive Le Mans wins last year, and now have two in a row themselves thanks to an assured performance from Fuoco, Molina and Nielsen in their three litre twin-turbo hybrid. None of the trio have been in a winning hypercar at Le Mans before.
