Recently inheriting driving duties of the #50 Ferrari 499P, Miguel Molina is in second place with Matt Campbell in the #6 Penske Porsche 963 following closely in third. A strategic decision during a rain spell propelled the #83 AF Corse Ferrari to contend for the lead, while the #499P Ferrari rose to first place during its pit stop rotation with Robert Shwartzman taking over from Robert Kubica. Shwartzman built a solid lead over Michael Christensen in the #5 Porsche as Antonio Fuoco in the #50 Ferrari held onto third place. Robin Frijns in the #20 WRT BMW faced setbacks with an error that pushed him to the back of the Hypercar class after a needed pit stop, leaving him five laps behind. Despite impressive driving from Fuoco, a battle for fifth place ensued with Callum Ilott in the #12 JOTA Porsche and Kamui Kobayashi in the #7 Toyota GR010 Hybrid joining the mix. Buemi briefly took the lead from Shwartzman before pitting, passing the reins to Brendon Hartley in the #8 Toyota. The race saw various contenders jostling for position as the strategy and changing weather conditions came into play, making for an exciting and dynamic competition.
