The 499Ps leave Brazil, venue of the 6 Hours of São Paulo, with 11th and 12th place finishes for the number 51 and 50 cars fielded by the official Ferrari – AF Corse team, and an eighth place overall for the number 83 crew entered by AF Corse.
These results allow Prancing Horse to keep its lead in the world manufacturers’ championship and ensure Pier Guidi-Calado-Giovinazzi remain leaders of the drivers’ standings, while AF Corse consolidates its lead in the independent team standings.

After four consecutive wins this season, the fifth round of the FIA WEC 2025 proved to be a tough test for the Maranello manufacturer’s cars, as predicted in the run-up to the event. The team made the most of the cars’ potential in the South American round and, despite optimal strategy and a strong performance from the drivers, ended the race at Interlagos never in a position to contend for a top overall place.

The race. At the chequered flag, the number 51 crew – leaders of the world drivers’ championship – finished 11th, making up six places from the start. The trio of James Calado, Antonio Giovinazzi and Alessandro Pier Guidi – the latter at the wheel during the final stints – delivered a gritty performance despite serving a 5-second penalty at the first pit stop and a drive-through near the end. They crossed the line three laps down on the winners.

One place behind came the teammates in the number 50 499P, Miguel Molina, Nicklas Nielsen and Antonio Fuoco, who had started 14th. During the third hour, the crew was forced to make an unscheduled stop to replace the rear section of the bodywork, damaged in contact with a GT car – a setback that further complicated an already uphill race.

As anticipated, the first of the 499Ps across the line was the number 83 fielded by AF Corse and driven by official Ferrari driver Yifei Ye – at the wheel for the final two hours – together with Robert Kubica and Phil Hanson. Starting ninth on the grid, the trio – winners of the 24 Hours of Le Mans 2025 – secured eighth place overall and first in the class reserved for independent teams.

The standings. Ferrari retains the lead in the world manufacturers’ championship with 175 points, 55 ahead of their closest rivals. In the world drivers’ standings, Pier Guidi-Calado-Giovinazzi remain in first place with 105 points, ahead of Ye-Kubica-Hanson with 93 points. Fuoco-Molina-Nielsen are fourth in the standings with 57 points.
AF Corse confirms its leadership in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams, now on 163 points.

The championship. The FIA World Endurance Championship will return to the spotlight on the weekend of 7 September for the 6 Hours of COTA in the United States.
