Top Ferrari desclassificado da qualificação do Campeonato Mundial de Endurance por ser muito leve.

The Ferrari #50 499P, which initially secured the pole position for the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps, was disqualified from the classification for being under the required weight, according to the FIA World Endurance Championship stewards. After post-classification checks, it was found that the car was underweight, resulting in its relegation to the back of the Hypercar grid. As a result, the Porsche #5 963 from the Penske team was promoted to pole position, marking Penske’s 100th pole position in sports cars. The Cadillac V-Series.R #2 will start alongside the Porsche in second place.

Antonio Fuoco initially set the fastest lap time in the Ferrari #50, clocking 2:02.600. However, with the Ferrari’s disqualification, Matt Campbell’s 2:03.107 lap time in the Porsche #5 now becomes the new pole lap for the race.

A Ferrari spokesperson explained that, after a collision with another car during the third practice session, the damaged rear of the Ferrari #50 had to be replaced with a new component. This replacement led to a weight discrepancy, which was discovered during the checks. As a result of the stewards’ decision to exclude all times recorded from the two sessions, the Ferrari 499P will start from the nineteenth position, the last in its class.

The Porsche #5, driven by Fred Makowiecki, will now start from pole position, with Alex Lynn in the Cadillac #2 qualifying in second place. Julien Andlauer in the Porsche #99 from Proton Competition will start in third, followed by Will Stevens in the Porsche #12 from JOTA in fourth, and Laurens Vanthoor in the Porsche #6 in fifth position.
