Ferrari officially unveiled the new livery of the 499P for the 2025 World Endurance Championship season. The design keeps the classic Maranello red combined with Giallo Modena details, a visual scheme already familiar after recent wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
Drivers and Goals for 2025
The driver lineups remain unchanged. Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina, and Nicklas Nielsen will race in car number 50, while Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi will drive car number 51. Fuoco, Molina, and Nielsen aim to repeat their Le Mans victory, while Pier Guidi, Calado, and Giovinazzi focus on consistent performance throughout the season.
Technical Development of the 499P
The 499P continues with its hybrid system, combining a twin-turbo V6 engine with an ERS electric system on the front axle. The engine, derived from Ferrari's V6 family, complies with regulations for both the WEC and Formula 1, integrating an 800V hybrid system to improve efficiency and track performance.
During the winter, the team made technical adjustments to expand aerodynamic configurations and optimize tire performance in various race conditions. Simulator and track tests helped further refine the technical package for this season.
2025 WEC Calendar
The season will start in Qatar with the prologue on February 21 and 22, followed by the opening race on February 28. The following rounds will take place in Imola (April), Spa-Francorchamps (May), Le Mans (June), São Paulo (July), Austin (September), Fuji (September), and Sakhir (November).
