WEC Imola: Ferrari 1-2-3 in dominant qualifying feat

Ferrari blocked out the top three positions on home ground in qualifying for Sunday’s Imola round of the World Endurance Championship.

Antonio Fuoco set two laps good enough for pole position aboard the #50 factory 499P Le Mans Hypercar at the head of a block-out by the three Ferraris in the 10-minute Hyperpole session. 

The Italian jumped to the top of the times with a 1m29.735s before improving to a 1m29.466s right at the end. 

Robert Shwartzman found seventh-tenths aboard the customer AF Corse-run entry on his final lap to claim second position between the two factory cars. 

His 1m29.885s gave him a margin of less than a tenth ahead of Alessandro Pier Guidi in the #51 factory entry, which ended up on 1m29.953s. 

Best of the rest behind the Ferraris was Kevin Estre in the #6 Porsche 963 LMDh that triumphed first time out in the WEC this year in Qatar in March. 

The Frenchman posted a best lap of 1m30.101s, which left him six-tenths off the pole. 

Matt Campbell followed him in fifth position despite an off at Tamburello at the start of the session in the second of the Porsche Penske Motorsport entries.
