Ferrari secured a dramatic home pole for the WEC round at Imola, but only by the narrowest of margins as Antonio Giovinazzi snatched top spot in the dying moments of a thrilling Hyperpole session. Ryo Hirakawa had looked set to deliver a shock for Toyota before Giovinazzi’s final lap of 1:30.127 edged him ahead by just 0.011 seconds, with four Hypercars covered by less than a tenth.

• Antonio Fuoco completed a strong Ferrari showing in third
• Malthe Jakobsen put Peugeot fourth, continuing its solid form
• Cadillac surprised with fifth despite expectations of a difficult weekend
• Alpine secured seventh, followed by the private AF Corse Ferrari in eighth
• Both BMWs reached Hyperpole but start from the fifth row
