While the Scuderia was basking in the glory of its remarkable home win at Monza thanks to Charles Leclerc, Ferrari’s WEC hypercar chargers were hard at work in Austin extending the manufacturer’s triumphant weekend.
In a thrilling climax to The Lone Star Le Mans six-hour race at the Circuit of The Americas, the privately run AF Corse Ferrari 499P steered by Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye and Robert Shwartzman edged out Toyota to claim victory.
The event was an intense battle between the two teams that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the checkered flag. But the #83 car’s triumph was also a “redemption” for the private outfit’s near win at Le Mans back in June.
“I think we can call it redemption for Le Mans,” said Shwartzman after the Austin win. “That was a big loss for us; it hurt a lot.
“After our retirement at Le Mans where we were big contenders for so long, I’ve been waiting for a moment like this.
“We were hungry for that win and finally we got it here.”
