The first Hyperpole session of the 2025 World Endurance Championship season is now complete. Fan favorite the No. 51 Ferrari 499P driven by former F1 driver Antonio Giovinazzi. Giovinazzi stole pole position away at the last moment from the No. 14 BMW Hypercar driven by Dries Vanthoor which was poise to take its first World Endurance Championship pole. The No. 15 car ultimately fell victim to a late push by Giovinazzi and had to settle for second place. In third the No. 50 Ferrari driven by Fuoco finished off the top three positions.
Words from Ferrari
Antonio Giovinazzi: “Starting from the front tomorrow here in Qatar is the result of the great teamwork we have done in recent days. I am thrilled and want to thank all my teammates and the team. In qualifying, I put together a strong lap, but I knew the challenge would be really tough in the decisive Hyperpole session, where I managed to improve and secure this fantastic result. We have an excellent car, and starting first and third is undoubtedly important, but the race will be very demanding, and we need to execute everything perfectly.”
Antonio Fuoco, 499P #50: “We will start from the second row, which is a good position at the start of what will be a challenging race. Over the last few days, we have shown that we can be competitive, so the hope is to put in a strong performance in this first round of the season.”
United Autosports locked out the front row in LMGT3 with the No. 95 and No. 59 cars.
