Ferrari on pole position for the FIA WEC finale at Monza

The FIA WEC is currently contesting the 2026 season finale. The venue is the Monza circuit – and that, of course, means a home race for Ferrari. Fittingly, the legendary marque also secured pole position for the 6-hour race. Antonio Fuoco, who shares a works 499P with Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nielsen, clocked a time of 1:33.364 minutes in the Hyperpole session, putting him at the top of the standings.

Also starting from the front row will be the Genesis GMR-001 hypercar driven by Paul-Loup Chatin, Mathieu Jaminet and Daniel Juncadella. Jaminet was just 0.096 seconds behind Fuoco in the Hyperpole. Third place, 0.177 seconds behind, went to the Cadillac V-Series.R driven by Earl Bamber, Sébastien Bourdais and Jack Aitken.

“A truly brilliant job by everyone. We’ve once again secured a qualifying result in the top three. Starting from third on the grid, in the second row, is exactly the position we wanted for this race – huge credit to the whole team. The car has been working very well right from the start, and I’m looking forward to the race tomorrow. I believe we have a strong race car that will allow us to move right up the field,” explained Bamber after the session.

Fourth place went to the second works Ferrari driven by James Calado, Antonio Giovinazzi and Alessandro Pier Guidi, who were 0.209 seconds off the pace. The Peugeot 9X8 driven by Loïc Duval, Malthe Jakobsen and Théo Pourchaire rounded off the top five.

In the LMGT3 class, the Lexus RC F LMGT3 driven by Tom van Rompuy, Hadrien David and Esteban Masson secured pole position with a time of 1:47.523 minutes. The FIA WEC race at Monza starts tomorrow, Sunday (8 November 2026) at 11:00 (CET). Here’s a guide on how to follow the action from home.
