AF confirmed on Friday that the pair will join the already-announced Robert Kubica in the car it will field alongside the two full-factory 499Ps this year.
The announcement follows the news in December that Ye had joined Ferrari after leaving Porsche Motorsport Asia Pacific, where he was a so-called selected driver, and subsequent speculation that he and Formula 1 reserve driver Shwartzman would race the extra AF entry in the WEC’s Hypercar class.
Shwartzman is moving into the prototype ranks after racing a factory-backed Ferrari 296 GT3 for AF in last year’s GT World Challenge Europe Endurance Cup and an outing in one of the regular 499Ps at the official WEC rookie test in Bahrain in November.
The 24-year-old stated that he and his team-mates were “feeling confident and ambitious” about their 2024 WEC campaign.
“I am confident that the season will be positive and am really motivated to get good results, with the ambition to win the world title,” he said.
“There is a race that I am especially looking forward to, however, and that is the Le Mans 24 Hours: it is a race that has always been in my dreams and I will do everything possible to try to win."
