Ferrari Sweeps Imola WEC Prologue With Fuoco Fastest

The pre-season test sets an early benchmark before practice for the six-hour opener.

Overview

  • Ferrari led the combined times Tuesday, with Antonio Fuoco's 1:31.177 in the No. 50 499P heading a 1-2-3.
  • Marco Sorensen crashed the No. 009 Aston Martin at Tamburello in the morning, with the driver cleared and the car needing a chassis change.
  • BMW's No. 15 completed only about 25 laps before an engine change, then returned in the afternoon for eighth as the No. 20 improved to fourth.
  • Changeable weather shaped the running, with a wet-to-dry morning and a cool, showery afternoon that sped up the track as laps built.
  • LMGT3 stayed tight across brands, with Alessio Rovera quickest in the morning for AF Corse and Mattia Drudi leading later for Heart of Racing, before FP1 on Friday at 10:15 a.m. local.
