A season destined to enter the annals of motorsport. The curtain has come down on a 2025 that saw Ferrari clinch both the World Manufacturers’ Championship title in the FIA WEC – returning to Maranello 53 years after its last overall endurance win thanks to the results of the two 499Ps entered by the official Ferrari – AF Corse team – and the World Drivers’ title, obtained by the number 51 crew of Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi. 

The perfect year in the top competition for endurance racing also goes into the archives with the victory of the number 83 499P, entered by AF Corse, at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the top event of the eight world championship rounds. Official driver Yifei Ye, together with Robert Kubica and Phil Hanson, were first to cross the line on the Circuit de la Sarthe, sealing the third consecutive win for the 499P, in a unique setting, with 332,000 spectators recorded in the grandstands. 

Completing the clean sweep for the Prancing Horse manufacturer was also the success of the private AF Corse team in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams reserved for independent squads. 

The numbers. In 2025 Ferrari recorded four consecutive wins in the top class of the FIA WEC: at the season-opener in Qatar, the triumph went to Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen, with the number 50 499P finishing ahead at the flag of the number 83 and 51 crews (the latter having started from pole position), delivering a historic one-two-three. Two further victories then followed, at Imola in front of 65,504 spectators – where Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi secured both pole position and the race win – and at Spa, once again with the number 51 crew, first over the line ahead of their number 50 teammates, earning the applause of the 98,874 fans present at the historic Belgian circuit. 

The fourth round of the calendar, as anticipated, saw Ye-Kubica-Hanson take the 499P to victory, with Pier Guidi-Calado-Giovinazzi third, collecting points that would later prove decisive in the final chase for the winners’ laurel. 

Overall, the Prancing Horse’s record thus includes four wins and four pole positions – in addition to the three mentioned, the number 83 car also took pole at COTA in Texas – plus a further six podium finishes. 

The finale. The championship, which had always seen Ferrari defend the lead in the Manufacturers’ standings, remained mathematically open until the final showdown in Bahrain, where third place for Fuoco-Molina-Nielsen, fourth for Pier Guidi-Calado-Giovinazzi and fifth for Ye-Kubica-Hanson enabled the Prancing Horse to set another record, with all three crews classified at the head of the Drivers’ standings – behind the world champions finished, respectively, the number 83 and number 50 trios – something never achieved since the FIA WEC was launched in 2012. 

Calendar 2026. Attention now turns to the 2026 season, the fourth that will see the Ferrari 499P on the grid in the top class, featuring eight rounds on the same circuits as the previous year. 

The world championship circus will meet at Lusail on 22–23 March for the Prologue (collective testing), ahead of the 1812KM of Qatar, the first race of the season, scheduled for Saturday, 28 March. This will be followed by the 6 Hours of Imola (Italy, 19 April) and Spa-Francorchamps (Belgium, 9 May), the 24 Hours of Le Mans (France, 13–14 June), the 6 Hours of São Paulo (Brazil, 12 July), COTA (USA, 6 September) and Fuji (Japan, 27 September), before the traditional season finale represented by the 8 Hours of Sakhir (Bahrain, 7 November).
