AF Corse has revealed the car with which it will endeavour to add the world championship crown to its 24 Hours of Le Mans win from last June, as Robert Kubica, Phil Hanson and Yifei Ye set their sights on title glory over the coming months.
The independently-run #83 Ferrari 499P was a leading contender throughout the 2025 FIA World Endurance Championship campaign in the series’ headlining Hypercar category, taking the chequered flag second in the curtain-raising Qatar 1812km and staying in the hunt for honours right the way through to the eight-hour finale in Bahrain.
Competing together for the first time, Kubica, Hanson and Ye – the latter pair both official Ferrari factory drivers – ultimately scooped the runner-up spoils in the Drivers’ standings, in addition to clinching a dominant success in the FIA World Cup for Hypercar Teams.
Along the way, the trio famously triumphed at La Sarthe, where the Pole produced a heroic quintuple final stint to stave off the threat of Porsche and the factory Ferraris behind.
They will head into battle in 2026 behind the wheel of a car whose livery represents a stylistic evolution in the name of continuity. The iconic Giallo Modena remains the main identifying feature, while red details – reinterpreted through new geometries – accentuate the Italian outfit’s racing identity.
Following the season-opener in Qatar on 28 March, the action will continue with races at Imola (19 April), Spa-Francorchamps (9 May), Le Mans (13-14 June), Interlagos (12 July), COTA (6 September) and Fuji (27 September), prior to concluding as per tradition in Bahrain on 7 November.
