Ferrari was the chief challenger for Toyota in the opening round of the 2023 World Endurance Championship.
. It was a one-two finish for the Japanese team, with the number 7 GR010 Hybrid of Mike Conway, Kamui Kobayashi, and José María López finishing first, and the no. 8 GR010 Hybrid of Sébastien Buemi, Brendon Hartley, and Ryo Hirakawa coming in just 2.168 seconds behind.
While it wasn't the dream start Ferrari would have wanted, the Italian team's third-place finish with the no. 50 499P was impressive nonetheless. Drivers Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina, and Nicklas Nielsen crossed the line two laps behind the Toyotas. Despite losing the pole position to Ferrari and its no. 50 499P, Toyota kept the pressure on the leader through the opening laps. An accident by a GT car on the fifth lap brought out the safety car and led to the race stopping for 25 minutes. The Ferrari stopped for fuel during this period, which gave the Toyotas the lead spot. The two Toyotas then built up a gap that would grow to two laps.There was some drama with the no. 51 Ferrari 499P.
