Ferrari dominated qualifyi🌠ng for the Spa round of the World Endurance Championship to lock out the top three spots on the Hypercar grid.

Antonio Fuoco lapped the Spa-Francorchamps Circuit in 1m59.617s at the wheel of the factory #50 Ferra♊ri 499P to claim pole position, beating the satellite AF Corse Ferrari of ex-Formula 1 driver Robert Kubica by 0.347s.

This was the third consecutive pole position for the Italian manufacture꧃r in 2025 WEC, but the first for the #50 499P LMH crewed by Fuoco, Miguel Molina and Nicklas Nie🥃lsen.

The works #51 Ferrari that topped qualifying in both Qatar and Imola f൲inished third this time out with Antonio Giovianazzi at the wheel, 0.584s down on Fuoco’s time in the chart-topping #50 entry.

Peugeot emerged as Ferrari’s closest rival in qualifying, but Stoffen Vandoorne’s best time in the #93 9X8 LMไH was six tenths slower than the pole lap.

Alex Lynn guided Jota’s factory #12 Cadillac V-Series.R to fifth place ahead of Mick Schumacher in the #36 Alpine A424 and Jean Eric Vergne in the #94 Pe🐲ugeot.

Robin Frijns ended up eighth in the #20 BMW M Hybrid V8🥃, the sole WRT-entered machine to pr𓃲ogress to the second part of qualifying.

Ninth place went to Charles Milesi in the #35 Alpine, while Jota driver Earl Bamb🌠er rounded out the top 10 with the #38 Cadillac.

Rafaelle Marciello missed out𝓡 on a Hyperpole spot by just 0.022s, ending up 11th in the #15 BMW. 

All three Porsche LMDh 𒈔cars were knocked out in the opening leg of qualifying.

The factory Porsche Penske 963s qualified by Kevin Estre and Julien Andlauer finished 12th and 13th respectively, just ahe⛎ad of the privateer Protonꦛ car driven by Nicolas Varrone.

Toyota endured an even worse result in qualifying, with Brendon Hartley and Kamui Kobayashಞi languishing down in 15th and 16th respectively - separated by just t♍hree thousandths of a second.
