Ferrari has admitted they underestimated the rain during the WEC 6 Hours of Imola as they did not opt to
Antonello Coletta, Ferrari’s Global Head of Endurance and Corse Clienti, addressed the media post-race, admitting to a mistake in not splitting the cars as originally planned and expressing regret for the situation. He emphasized the need to review and revise procedures following the error. Despite anticipating rain, Ferrari chose to stay on slick tires longer, based on data that was later found to be misleading. The team’s failure to switch to wet tires when the rain intensified cost them positions, allowing Toyota to take the lead. Both factory Ferraris finished fourth and seventh, realizing they missed an opportunity to challenge for the win by misjudging the track conditions. The disappointing outcome was particularly regrettable for Coletta, who expressed apologies to fans and spectators for the team’s error in judgment.
