Ferrari has lost pole position for the third round of the World Endurance Championship at Spa after its #50 499P Le Mans Hypercar was discovered to be underweight after qualifying.
The car driven by Antonio Fuoco to a second consecutive WEC pole position in Friday afternoon's Hyperpole session by a margin of 0.507s has lost all of its times from qualifying and will now start from the rear of the Hypercar field for Saturday's 6 Hour race. The #5 Porsche Penske Motorsport 963 LMDh will now assume pole position after Matt Campbell pipped the sole Chip Ganassi-run Cadillac V-Series.R of Alex Lynn by 0.008s.
462s Fuoco had managed in the first qualifying session which set the top 10 that progressed to Hyperpole. His team-mate James Calado in the #51 entry admitted that he 'screwed up' as he missed the cut by 0.021s to Lynn. He is now elevated to tenth on the grid, with the #50 machine Fuoco shares with Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen set to start 19th.
