Driver comments after the Hyperpole at Le Mans

Ferrari – AF Corse's 499P cars will start the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans from seventh and eleventh on the grid, with crews No. 50 and No. 51 respectively, for the race scheduled on Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 June at the Circuit de La Sarthe. The No. 83 entry, fielded by AF Corse, will start from thirteenth position. Here’s what the drivers had to say after the two Hyperpole sessions.

Miguel Molina, 499P #50: “Today I returned to take part in an Hyperpole session after more than two years, stepping in for Nicklas (Nielsen – Ed.) and doing my best to qualify the 499P for Hyperpole 2, before handing over the wheel to Antonio (Fuoco – Ed.). Seventh place is a solid starting position for what will be a long and challenging race. From now until Saturday, we’ll focus on fine-tuning the car, analysing every detail and especially working on race pace.”

Antonio Giovinazzi, 499P #51: “The Hyperpole certainly didn’t go as we’d hoped, considering we didn’t make it into the top ten. That said, the 24 Hours is a long race where anything can happen, and grid position isn’t such a determining factor. At the start, we’ll need to be careful and avoid any contact. From there, we’ll do everything we can to achieve the best possible result in the most eagerly awaited race of the season.”
