F꧟errari had an up-💦and-down Hyperpole session at Le Mans as red flags caused them a shot at pole position.

Antonio Fuocoღ, Ferrari’s most prolific qualifier, was set to go onto provisiona🐻l pole with under ten minutes to go.

However, red flags were brought out before he could finish his lap when the🧸 #15 BMW of Dries Vanthoor hit the barrier at Indianapolis.

With the best of his tyres gone, Fuoco tried one more push lap but abandoned 𝔍that attempt at turn two and three when he went wide.

“It was a very tough Hyperpole,” said Fuoco who finished P5 i⭕n the #50 Ferrari. “We did our best as a team to exploit 💦the potential of our 499Ps.

“It appears that some competitors are overall stronger than us, but we know that the 24 Hours of Le Mans is a long race where various factors will play a crucial role, including the exper🌳ience 🥀we drivers and the entire team have gained over the past few months.”

On the other side of the garage Alessandro Pier Guidi qualified fourth in the #51 Ferrari, but was also unable to match the likes of Cadillac and ﷽the #6 Porsche which secured pole in the hands of Kevin Estre.

Gui﷽di said: “We knew we might struggle in Hyperpole in terms of performance compared to some competitors.

“We weren’t very lucky with the red flag, which affected our tyre preparati🐼on♛ as we tried to improve in the final phase. 

“However, I think our goal was to qualify in the first two rows, to lower the risks at the star💎t, and we achieved that.

“The race? I’m confident and believe weಌ can perform well, particularly as we can draw on the experience gained in 2023.

“I believe we have what itꦬ takes to perf෴orm well in the 24 Hours of Le Mans.”
