Ferrari driver James Calado admits qualifying a second off the pace at Fuji was 'a surprise' after the Italian marque endured its worst-ever qualifying in the World Endurance Championship.
in the sister #50 Ferrari was another tenth behind in seventh, as Ferrari failed to get a single car inside the top three for the first time in 2023.
"In terms of my quali, it was a good first lap, I did get compromised in the last sector, but even so I don't think we can compete with the Toyotas. That was something magical by Kamui, it was a great lap, congratulations to them. Calado was equally pessimistic about Ferrari's chances on Sunday, believing tyre wear could be a deciding factor in the six-hour race if it remains dry.
