Ferrari expressed surprise at the disqualification of its #50 499P Hypercar from fourth place in the 2025 Le Mans 24 Hours, citing safety and performance concerns raised by race stewards.
The Scuderia defended the car’s safety, stating the absence of rear wing bolts did not compromise safety as argued by stewards.
Stewards noted a significant rear wing deflection and suggested a potential performance advantage due to the flexibility of the rear wing.
Ferrari disagreed, stating the loss of bolts during the race did not provide any performance advantage, and the top speed was achieved while running behind its sister car.
The team maintained that the incident in question did not give a competitive advantage or compromise safety, expressing full confidence in the World Endurance Championship’s regulations.
