Ferrari won the 24h of Le Mans!

Ferrari won Le Mans for the second time in a row. last year Ferrari returned to the top class of the WEC series after 50 years and immediately won the legendary 24 hours of LeMans with car number #51, this year it was car number #50 and drivers Antonio Fuoco, Miguel Molina, Niclas Nielsen who rose to the top podium steps.


-This year's race was decidedly under the sign of rain and the winner was literally decided in the last lap because Porsche, Ferrari and Cadillac were fighting for the first place towards the end of the race, but Ferrari outsmarted Toyota with its risky strategy and it was really close because Ferrari already ran out of fuel.

-The fact that this year was really close is also confirmed by the fact that so far only two cars in the first and second positions have reached the finish line of the race in the same lap, this year there were even the first 9 of them.



-After Saturday's start, a couple of Porsche #6 laps held the lead, then the Ferrari cars took over the lead. Not long after, we lost the first hypercar BMW #20, and in the evening we lost both Alpine cars. Subsequently, Ferrari #83 with Robert Kubica took the lead. BMW #15 did not avoid the problem either, which crashed due to Robert Kubica, who did not estimate the distance when passing the LMGT3 car and subsequently had contact with the BMW, which subsequently also had to leave the race. Kubica received a 30-second penalty and the team fell out of the fight for first place, but Ferrari #83 also had to retire the following day due to problems with the hybrid system.


 
-As the morning approached, we spent a lot of time behind the safety car due to the large amount of water on the track, then the rain returned to us 2 hours before the end of the race, when Toyota #8 also had to say goodbye to the fight for the victory after being spun by Ferrari #51, which got a 5 second penalty for that.Another drama came when the #50 Ferrari couldn't close the door and had to pit unplanned, but then it was time for a strategy where they had to save a lot of gas to avoid pitting again, it worked out for them in the end and they narrowly finished and Ferrari claimed their second victory in a row.
