Autosport Editor-In-Chief Kevin Turner sits down with World Endurance Championship correspondent Gary Watkins to review the WEC 2025 6 Hours of Spa.
While Ferrari scored another 1-2 finish with the #51 team of James Calado, Antonio Giovinazzi and Alessandro Pier Guidi coming out on top, they were pushed all the way to the chequered flag by their sister team in the #50 and another excellent energy-saving stint by Nicklas Nielsen, and a resurgent #36 Alpine in third, spear-headed by Mick Schumacher in the closing stages, just five seconds behind.
Gary breaks down how the race's climatic ending, why Ferrari think Alpine might be a genuine threat for Le Mans, and the cheeky swap of their leading cars in the pit lane that led to a trip to the stewards, but only had them punished with a reprimand.
There's also more talk about the state of the ACO's balance of performance with Toyota and Porsche struggling to compete, as well as a full review of LMGT3 as Ferrari took yet more success via the #21 Vista AF Corse squad of Alessio Rovera, Simon Mann and Francois Heriau.
