Kubica Leads Ferrari to Third Straight Le Mans Win

Ferrari achieved its third consecutive victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, with the privately-entered AF Corse No. 83 car, piloted by Robert Kubica, Yifei Ye, and Phil Hanson, taking the win after completing 387 laps. Kubica, overcoming a career-altering rally crash in 2011, led the team to finish 14.084 seconds ahead of the No. 6 Porsche Penske car. Strategic tire choices and pit stops were crucial in holding off challenges from both Porsche and the factory Ferraris. The No. 51 factory Ferrari finished third, while No. 50 placed fourth after late-race issues. The event saw fewer incidents than usual, and the Cadillac Jota cars struggled despite strong qualifying results. The victory underscores both Kubica's personal triumph and Ferrari’s sustained dominance at Le Mans.
