Shwartzman has "zero doubt" he is ready for WEC Hypercar move after Ferrari test
Robert Shwartzman, the Russian-Israeli racing driver, had the opportunity to test Ferrari’s Le Mans-winning LMH car at the official WEC rookie test in Bahrain. He completed 30 laps in the #51 Ferrari 499P, setting the fastest time of the day, beating Jota Porsche’s Will Stevens. This was Shwartzman’s first outing in a prototype sportscar after testing various cars post his Formula 2 exit. He expressed his confidence and readiness to move up to the Hypercar category in 2024, stating that he won’t gain anything by continuing in GT World Challenge Europe for another year. Ferrari is exploring the possibility of supporting a third LMH car in the 2024 WEC season, and Shwartzman hopes to be considered for that opportunity.
