Ferrari will retain all six of its 2023 World Endurance Championship drivers for 2024, the Italian manufacturer has announced.
Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina, and Nicklas Nielsen will once again share the #50 Ferrari 499P, while Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi will race the Le Mans-winning sister #51 car.
Fuoco, Molina, and Nielsen achieved four podiums last year — at Sebring, Portimao, Monza and Bahrain — as well as two pole positions in America and at Le Mans in France.
Meanwhile, Pier Guidi, Calado and Giovinazzi won Le Mans, as well as taking a podium at Spa.
“The choice to retain the drivers who competed last year with the 499Ps for the Ferrari – AF Corse team in the 2024 FIA WEC season reflects a commitment to continuity,” said Ferrari’s global head of endurance and Corse Clienti, Antonello Coletta.
“In 2023, with these crews undertaking their maiden outing in the top class of the world championship, we accomplished remarkable results including a victory at Le Mans and six podium finishes out of seven races.
“These achievements allowed us to secure an excellent runner-up spot in the Manufacturers’ championship by the end of the year. Together we have gained experience as we continue to develop our car and demonstrate its potential.
“Building upon these foundations, we look forward to the now imminent 2024 season with optimism, renewing our confidence in our drivers.”
