Ferrari Takes it's First Home Hypercar Win in the 6 Hours of Imola
After the No. 51 Ferrari 499P on pole for the 6 Hours of Imola, Ferrari AF Corse won its home race for the first time in the World Endurance Championship. The No. 51 and No. 83 Ferraris dominated early, but only the No. 51 piloted by Alessandro Pier Guidi, Antonio Giovinazzi, and James Calado was able to hold on to a podium finish to follow up Ferrari's 1-2-3 in Qatar. The No. 20 Team WRT BMW M Hybrid V8 milked their tires, using one set of mediums for the final two hours of the race for Phil Hansen to take second over Mick Schumacher in the No. 36 Alpine A424. This podium is Alpine's second ever podium, with its first coming in the 6 Hours of Fuji last September. While the win is a triumph for Ferrari, it comes slightly short of expectations after their dominant first round, as the manufacturer only secured one of three podium positions. Paired with Qatar's success is their lockout of the top three in qualifying for Imola last year, which led to an early command of the race before rain shook up the 2024 race. Robert Kubica brought the No. 83 to fourth, and Ferrari's Le Mans winner, the No. 50 499P, finished 15th. This was the first time that all 18 hypercars finished a WEC round, including both Aston Martins in just their second series outing in the new Valkyrie.

IndyCar penalizes Prema Racing following Thermal fire
Motorsport photo IndyCar's first practice at Thermal was a fiery one, as Prema Racing's No. 83 entry, driven by Robert Shwartzman, caught fire during it. Shwartzman, in reaction, stopped the car and jumped out — while triggering a red flag on the session. As expected, the AMR safety team was on the scene quickly, but Prema needed to make significant repairs overnight due to the extent of the damage. Advertisement While an unfortunate scenario, it turns out the fire did not have to be as bad as it was. IndyCar's investigation later found that the approved emergency pull cable, which controls the fire suppression system installed on every car, was out of compliance on the No. 83 car, and failed to activate properly. The team, well-established in Europe, but new to IndyCar, was using an unapproved product in the car. Officials concluded that this is a safety issue, specifically violating Rule 14.1.3. "All parts provided by an Approved Supplier must be used as supplied without modification unless otherwise approved by IndyCar and stated in these Rules or in update bulletins." As a result, Prema has been fined $10,000 and docked 10 championship points. The No. 83 falls from 22nd to 27th in the championship standings, but Shwartzman's points position remains unaffected. The team has no plans to appeal. Andretti Global was also penalized earlier this week for a separate safety violation involving the No. 26 of Colton Herta. The team failed to include two anti-intrusion plates on either side of the car, only utilizing one on each side. They were docked 10 championship points as well and fined $25,000.
