Ferrari expressed surprise at the disqualification of its #50 499P Hypercar from fourth place at the 2025 Le Mans 24 Hours, stating the car was safe despite missing four rear wing bolts and allegedly gaining a performance advantage. The team argued that the missing bolts did not compromise safety and the alleged advantage was irrelevant. Stewards claimed the car had an unusually high rear wing deflection and peaked in performance on lap 380 out of 387. Ferrari contested, clarifying that the alleged advantage occurred while the car was in the slipstream of its sister car and did not impact performance or final standings. The team emphasized that the incident provided no competitive advantage and did not compromise safety, expressing confidence in the World Endurance Championship’s regulations.
