Ferrari Leads Le Mans After Cadillac's Qualifying Sweep

Cadillac locked out the front row in 2025 Le Mans qualifying, with Alex Lynn taking pole in the No. 12 car and Earl Bamber in second, marking the first front-row sweep by an American marque since Ford in 1967. Porsche and BMW filled the next two spots, while defending champions Ferrari struggled in qualifying, starting seventh. However, during the race, Ferrari's No. 51 car overcame setbacks to lead by dawn, and with six hours left, Ferrari held a commanding 1-2-3 position. Porsche and Toyota trailed in fourth and fifth as the endurance race featured dramatic shifts, including tire degradation, penalties, and intense strategic battles. The race was started by tennis legend Roger Federer, adding to the event's prestige. With several hours remaining, the final outcome was still open amid ongoing on-track drama.
