Both Ferrari LMH cars hit early trouble in Qatar WEC
During the Qatar 1812Km race, the Italian manufacturer’s #50 Ferrari showed promise as Miguel Molina initially took the lead from fourth on the grid. However, Molina’s pace was not enough to maintain the position, and he was overtaken by Nico Muller’s Peugeot. Ferrari’s decision to pit early for fuel and tires backfired when Molina received a drive-through penalty for crossing the white line at the pit entry. Molina plummeted to 15th place after serving the penalty. Meanwhile, the rear end of the #51 Ferrari, driven by James Calado, detached during the race, requiring unscheduled pit stops and resulting in a two-lap deficit for the team. Despite some setbacks, the AF Corse team continued to push forward, with their hopes for a good result resting on their customer entry. Porsche’s #6 Penske car held the lead as the race progressed, with Ferrari’s #50 car making strategic pit stops to improve its position.
