Le Mans 2025 — race report & highlights
Just back from Le Mans for the third consecutive year and honestly it never gets old. A few highlights: The hypercar battle was genuinely unpredictable this year. The Toyota GR010 led for 14 hours before a gearbox issue dropped it to third. The Ferrari 499P #51 came through in extraordinary fashion after a nose change at 3am. The atmosphere at night is something photographs will never capture — 300,000 people under the stars, 50+ cars screaming down the Mulsanne at 340+ km/h (yes, modern LMH prototypes on the two straights), the smell of warm brakes and fuel. If you've never been: GO. One year. Just do it. Happy to answer questions about logistics, camping, where to watch from, best grandstands.
Red Bull's whole identity is built around developing their own talent rather than importing established stars — going out and getting Piastri would be a genuine philosophy shift for them, not just a driver swap.
