No. 50 Ferrari disqualified from Le Mans after technical infringement
The No. 50 Ferrari 499P driven by Nicklas Nielsen, Antonio Fuoco, and Miguel Molina was disqualified from fourth place at the 24 Hours of Le Mans due to failing post-race checks, as announced by the stewards on Monday evening. The rear wing support of the car had a deflection of 52mm, well above the permitted threshold of 15mm according to the 2025 Le Mans Hypercar (LMH) Technical Regulations. Further inspection revealed that four bolts were missing from the rear wing support structure, breaching the car’s homologation. Despite a mechanic noticing the missing bolt during the last pit stop, no action was taken by the team. Ferrari argued that the missing bolts caused the excessive deflection without any performance gain, but the stewards highlighted the potential risk of a structural failure and imposed the disqualification.
