The Latest Breaking News from Giuliano Salvi

Ferrari took another World Endurance Championship victory at Spa. Just. It came out on top on a day in which it raced wheel to wheel and then some with Alpine and BMW.

The Italian manufacturer revealed in the aftermath of round two of the 2024 WEC that it had misinterpreted the weather forecast it received and that there was also a  breakdown in the chain of command within the team at the crucial point of the six hours when rain arrived. 

Racing and test manager Giuliano Salvi conceded that the Italian manufacturer and the factory AF Corse team could have “pushed a bit more” on the second race outing for the 499P Le Mans Hypercar despite claiming second place with the entry shared by Antonio Fuoco, Nicklas Nielsen and Miguel Molina.

The damage to the car after the Briton’s off at Turn 1 on his out-lap at the start of second morning of the two-day official pre-season test was largely confined to the right-front corner, according to Ferrari.
