It is almost impossible to separate Nicklas Nielsen and team-mate Antonio Fuoco in the second Ferrari 499P. The Qatar season-opener set the tone: there was just 0.002s between them on a 50-lap average.
At Le Mans, the margin using a 75-lap sample was 0.003s. It was advantage – if it can be called that – Nielsen both times. To call the Dane and Fuoco the stand-outs wouldn’t be quite right, but they had a consistency of performance that was lacking elsewhere in the line-up.
The pity is they weren’t in contention for the title going to the finale courtesy of their Le Mans disqualification.
