Ferrari: No strategy would have closed gap to LMDh cars in WEC Qatar
Ferrari’s LMH cars faced tough competition from LMDh cars at the Qatar 1812km race, with Porsche and Cadillac dominating the top positions. AF Corse’s Ferrari 499P finished fifth, ahead of Toyota’s GR010 HYBRID, while Ferrari’s factory cars finished seventh and 13th due to penalties. Despite the performance gap, Ferrari’s technical director Ferdinando Cannizzo highlighted the challenges faced and the lack of strategic options to overcome it. The team focused on tire management and optimization during the race to mitigate issues and maintain performance. Ferrari continues to strive for competitiveness against other platforms in the championship, acknowledging the need to keep up with evolving competition.
