Kubica Stays With AF Corse as Ferrari Confirms Unchanged 2026 WEC Hypercar Lineups

Continuity aims to carry Ferrari’s Le Mans-winning form into a season that opens in Qatar on 28 March.

Overview

  • AF Corse confirmed Robert Kubica will return for the 2026 World Endurance Championship alongside Ye Yifei and Phil Hanson in an unchanged Ferrari 499P crew.
  • The announcement finalizes stable driver rosters across all three Ferrari Hypercar entries, with the factory #51 and #50 line-ups also retained.
  • Kubica, Ye and Hanson won the 24 Hours of Le Mans last June, and Ferrari completed the season by taking both the drivers’ and manufacturers’ championships.
  • Ye and Hanson hold works status for 2026, while Kubica remains the only non-factory driver in the AF Corse trio.
  • Ferrari chose not to use remaining evo jokers for the 499P but introduced other performance and reliability updates, and the eight-round WEC calendar again starts in Qatar on 28 March.
