Ferrari claims the No. 50 car gained no performance advantage from real wing deflection.
Following the disqualification of Ferrari’s No. 50 499P Hypercar from the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the team issued a detailed statement. The car, driven by Nicklas Nielsen, Antonio Fuoco and Miguel Molina, was stripped of its fourth-place finish due to missing bolts and excessive wing deflection. Ferrari confirmed it will not appeal the decision, claiming the missing bolts did not provide a performance advantage. The team explained that the high top speed was achieved while following another Ferrari, not due to the technical infringement. Ferrari emphasized that the safety of the car was not compromised by the absence of the bolts. The manufacturer’s other Hypercar entries successfully passed scrutineering, including the race-winning No. 83 AF Corse-run Ferrari.
