Having left Ferrari for Porsche last year, the two-time class winner at Le Mans in 2012 and 2014 with the Italian manufacturer missed out on the 85th running of the race for contractual reasons. But, the Italian driver didn't miss a beat for his return in 2018, quickly clocking the pole position lap in 3:47.504 during the first qualifying session on Wednesday evening.
Gianmaria Bruni, Frédéric Makowiecki and Richard Lietz shared the #91 Porsche - decorated like its winning "Pink Pig" sister car in a vintage livery - and reached the second step on the class podium at the 86th edition of the 24 Hours of Le Mans.
