WEC Sebring - Chassis change for the n°51 Ferrari 499P ?
13 Mar. 2023 • 10:28
The Italian hypercar was unable to take part in the fourth session of the WEC Prologue due to the injury sustained on Sunday morning.
James Calado was caught out by the cold tyres at Turn 1 as he left the pitlane, causing extensive damage to the front right hand side of the #51 Ferrari 499P in yesterday morning's third Prologue practice session. Initially, the Italian team thought that a chassis change would not be necessary. Dallara staff - who are responsible for this one - went to the site to check that the monocoque had not been affected and would be reusable. However, as a precautionary measure, the manufacturer could decided to reassemble the racing mechanics on the test chassis, which was also present on site.
