Ferrari and Alpine bid farewell to 499P and A424 at Monza

Alpine Endurance Team crews signed the cockpits of both Alpine A424s before the car's final race at Monza. Peugeot TotalEnergies presented Malthe Jakobsen with a signed race suit after the race. Jakobsen confirmed earlier in race week that he would not return to the French marque next year, and he has since been revealed as a McLaren factory driver.

Ferrari also said goodbye to the 499P Hypercar, thanking it for its run since 2023, which included three Le Mans victories and the Drivers' and Manufacturers' crowns last season. Ferrari will return in 2027 with a revamped Hypercar, understood to use the same chassis with a new aero package and a new model name.

Ferrari took a podium with the #51 car in the final 499P race, but penalties for tyre pressure infringements hobbled the #50 and #83 cars. Team and track operations manager Giuliano Salvi said two cars were slightly below the required pressure, leaving them on the back foot in traffic.
