Maranello 05 December 2025

Ferrari – AF Corse has confirmed the driver line-up for the official 499P entries competing in the top Hypercar class of the 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship. Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina, and Nicklas Nielsen will once again share the number 50 499P, while Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi will drive the number 51 car.

The 2026 season, which kicks off in Lusail, Qatar, with the opening round of the world championship on 28 March, will also feature Yifei Ye. For the third consecutive year, he will drive the privateer AF Corse team’s number 83 499P in Giallo Modena livery.

The Maranello manufacturer’s decision shows a clear commitment to stability by keeping all six drivers who have raced in the top endurance class since the 499P’s competitive debut in 2023.

In the 2025 season, which concluded in Bahrain on 8 November, the two official crews contributed to Ferrari’s victory in the World Manufacturers’ Championship, bringing back to Maranello an overall endurance world title last won in 1972. Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi also celebrated the World Drivers’ Championship.

Ye, together with Robert Kubica and Phil Hanson, winners of the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans, finished second in the World Drivers’ standings with AF Corse, which also secured the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams. Fuoco, Molina and Nielsen finished third in the standings.
