The 2026 FIA World Endurance Championship season has officially drawn to a close following an electrifying showdown at the Autodromo Nazionale Monza, where Cadillac claimed their maiden victory of the year courtesy of a stellar drive by Earl Bamber and his teammates. Meanwhile, the championship battle reached its climax with the Toyota squad sealing the drivers' world crown.
Securing the top step of the podium in Italy brought immense satisfaction to the American manufacturer. Earl Bamber highlighted the tireless efforts put in by the entire crew throughout the grueling campaign. "A magnificent performance by everyone today. We have worked hard all year and made step-by-step progress. Cadillac provided incredible support, and this momentum sets us up perfectly to be a serious contender in the world championship next year," stated the Kiwi driver.
In the meantime, home favorites Ferrari salvaged a hard-fought third-place finish, though Alessandro Pier Guidi admitted that overtaking proved to be a major hurdle on track. "We started the season in Italy with a podium and ended it here with another. It was far from a straightforward race, and while our car pace was quite competitive, we struggled in direct battles and often found ourselves stuck in traffic," Pier Guidi explained regarding their race progression.
Further down the order, Loic Duval steered his Peugeot prototype to a strong fourth-place finish, capitalizing on the newly resurfaced asphalt to measure pace against the front-runners. Similarly, Kevin Magnussen representing BMW reflected on a chaotic race featuring mixed fortunes, ultimately achieving their primary targets for the manufacturers' and drivers' standings.
Ultimately, the championship honors underscored the supreme tactical execution and tire management displayed by the title-winning crew, wrapping up an unforgettable endurance racing campaign in grand fashion.
