Ye leaves Porsche ahead of likely link-up with Ferrari and customer AF WEC drive
Chinese racer Yifei Ye’s contract as a ‘selected driver’ with Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific has ended, possibly signaling his move to Ferrari. Sources suggest that Ye’s deal with Ferrari could include joining their roster of factory drivers in 2024. It is likely that he will continue his partnership with Robert Kubica in the AF-run customer 499P Le Mans Hypercar next season. Ye and Kubica previously won the 2021 European Le Mans Series together. Ferrari has not yet commented on Ye’s potential joining in 2024. Ye expressed gratitude for his time with PMAP and Porsche China, stating that representing PMAP as a selected driver was an honor.
