In a feat unseen in 90 years, Ferrari won both the 24 Hours of Le Mans and the Monaco Grand Prix in the same year.
Prestige and history often go hand in hand, and Ferrari has just written a new chapter in both areas. The Scuderia's triumph at the 24 Hours of Le Mans marks a rare feat, echoing that previously achieved by Alfa Romeo. In 1934, the Italian brand won both the Monaco Grand Prix and the grueling 24 Hours of Le Mans race.
This time, victory went to the team of Fuoco, Molina, and Nielsen, who equaled this historic double. To top it all off, Charles Leclerc's victory on the streets of the Principality a few weeks earlier made Ferrari the second team to win both titles in the same year.
In 1934, Guy Moll won in Monaco in just over three and a half hours, covering 318 km. At Le Mans, Luigi Chinetti and Philippe Étancelin shared the wheel for an entire day, driving the car with the cloverleaf logo to the top step of the podium. Their effort resulted in 213 laps of the 13.492 km circuit, or 2,886.938 km in total, which is about 2,000 km less than the distance covered by the Ferrari team this year.
