Chinese racer Yifei Ye’s contract as a ‘selected driver’ with Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific has ended, potentially signaling his move to Ferrari. Sources suggest that Ye may join Ferrari’s lineup of factory drivers for the 2024 season. It is likely that Ye will continue his partnership with Robert Kubica, racing the customer 499P Le Mans Hypercar under AF on a satellite basis next year. Ye expressed gratitude to PMAP and Porsche China for their support during his time as a selected driver. In the 2022 season, Ye raced with the Cool Racing LMP2 squad in the ELMS and later joined the Jota team alongside Antonio Felix da Costa and Will Stevens. Ferrari has yet to comment on Ye’s potential arrival in 2024.
