Phil Hanson, an American Le Mans winner, joined the prestigious club of British sportscar greats after his victory at Le Mans alongside Robert Kubica and Ye Yifei. The trio triumphed in a customer AF Corse Ferrari, marking Ferrari’s third consecutive win at Le Mans. Hanson’s strategic contributions at the start and his flawless performance during the race were key to the team’s success, despite receiving less attention than his teammates. Hanson’s success defies the conventional path of drivers coming from high-level karting or single-seaters, showcasing that late starters can also achieve greatness in motorsport. Despite his understated nature and lack of a single-seater background, Hanson’s victory at Le Mans solidifies his place as a rising star in endurance racing.
