Fuoco Puts Ferrari on Pole at Monza

A last‑minute Hyperpole lap secured Ferrari the front spot, with the #7 Toyota handed a three‑place grid penalty that drops it to the back of the Hypercar field and jeopardises its title bid.

Overview

  • In a 10‑minute Hyperpole on Saturday, Antonio Fuoco set a decisive 1:33.364 lap to put the #50 Ferrari 499P on overall pole for the 6 Hours of Monza.
  • Mathieu Jaminet and Earl Bamber qualified second and third respectively, with Antonio Giovinazzi lining up fourth behind them.
  • Neither Toyota TR010 Hybrid advanced to Hyperpole, leaving Ryo Hirakawa and Kamui Kobayashi 15th and 16th, and the #7 Toyota was later given a three‑place grid penalty that moves it to the back of the 17‑car Hypercar field.
  • Hadrien David took LMGT3 pole for Akkodis ASP in the Lexus RC F, which will make its final FIA WEC LMGT3 start from the front after mixed wet‑to‑dry track conditions.
  • The 6 Hours of Monza begins at 11:00 CET on Sunday and teams must race with limited dry‑running data, so tyre wear and strategy will be key to resolving the championship battles on race day.
