Ferrari AF Corse drivers and team personnel reflect on a missed opportunity at the 6 Hours of Imola, the second round of the 2024 FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC). Despite topping practice and qualifying, the Italian team’s strategy faltered in the rain, leading to a disappointing result. The team remains determined to make the most of their car’s potential in the upcoming races.
In the highly competitive world of the FIA WEC, Jean-Eric Vergne and the Peugeot Sport team delivered a valiant effort to secure 15th position in the opening qualifying session at Imola, narrowly missing the Hyperpole final. Vergne emphasized that his team had extracted the maximum potential from their car, but the BoP for the revised 9X8 still requires fine-tuning. Moving forward, Vergne stressed the importance of executing a flawless race in Sunday’s Imola 6 Hours, as Peugeot Sport works to refine their car’s performance for the upcoming 2024 WEC calendar.
