Le Mans, 15 June 2025 - For the third year running, Ferrari has triumphed at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, securing the 93rd edition of the French endurance race with the number 83 499P driven by Prancing Horse’s official driver Yifei Ye, alongside Phil Hanson and Robert Kubica, who crossed the line in the AF Corse team’s Giallo Modena-liveried car. In the fourth round of the 2025 FIA WEC, the number 51 499P of Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado and Antonio Giovinazzi took third, ahead of the other official Ferrari – AF Corse car, number 50, driven by Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen*. Ferrari Chairman John Elkann and CEO Benedetto Vigna attended the event, which drew 332,000 spectators, celebrating the win with the team.
Thanks to the Italian manufacturer’s extraordinary result, Ferrari will now keep the winners’ trophy forever – a right granted to those who secure victory in three consecutive editions.
After the wins in 2024 with Fuoco-Molina-Nielsen and the Centenary edition
in 2023 with Pier Guidi-Calado-Giovinazzi, the Maranello manufacturer once
again climbs to the top step of the podium with a car already etched in
motorsport legend – the Ferrari 499P, which has won every race contested at the
Circuit de La Sarthe since its competitive debut. Motorsport history also
welcomes the name of Yifei Ye, now the first Chinese driver to climb the top
step of the 24 Hours of Le Mans podium.
History
The Italian Constructor now counts 12 overall triumphs in the
world’s oldest and most prestigious endurance race, spanning from 1949 to 2025.
Legendary
Ferrari has now secured three consecutive outright victories at
the 24 Hours of Le Mans for the first time since the 1960s, when the Prancing
Horse won six editions in a row between 1960 and 1965. The last of those,
achieved with the Ferrari 250 LM, was also the final overall triumph in France
before its return to the top class of endurance racing starting in 2023.
Winning streak
This season, Ferrari has taken four wins in as many world championship rounds—at Lusail (Qatar), Imola (Italy), Spa (Belgium) and Le Mans (France). With this memorable result at the 2025 24 Hours of Le Mans, the 499P now has seven overall victories: the four this season add to the two in 2024 (at Le Mans and COTA with car number 83) and the 2023 24-hour race win.
Championship standings
Ferrari leaves France leading the world
manufacturers’ championship with 202 points, 111 clear of Toyota. In the world
drivers’ standings, Pier Guidi-Calado-Giovinazzi lead with 105 points, ahead of
Ye-Kubica-Hanson and Fuoco-Molina-Nielsen, second and third with 89 and 81
points respectively. In the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams, reserved for
independent squads, AF Corse has strengthened its lead with 138 points.

John Elkann, Ferrari Chairman: “Today is a great victory for Ferrari, for
all those who work there, for all its people. Ferrari has won by working
together, showing how unity leads to extraordinary results. Le Mans is a
special moment for those who love motorsport, and what has been achieved is
truly heroic.
Over the past three years, three different cars and nine drivers have shown
what teamwork really means. I thank everyone at Ferrari: winning the Le Mans
three times in a row is a historic achievement that makes us proud and honours
our founder, Enzo Ferrari.”
Yifei Ye, 499P #83: “The 499P was fantastic, we were put in a position from the start to fight for the win. We also made up for last year’s bad
