Then what has tripped them up, three races in a row? Getting used to the car could account for Sebring and Portimao, less so Spa. It's not likely that Toyota will make enough mistakes for Ferrari to keep up.
It's not like AF Corse has a lot of experience of running top class prototypes and Hypercars are clearly a much different animal than P2 Orecas.

But give it time, Toyota wasn't winning in their first season in P1 before the 5th race. Neither BMW nor Audi won at all in their first seasons (in LMP900)! And it took Porsche all season in 2014 to record their first win at the last race.

Ferrari, Cadillac and Porsche will challenge - and possibly beat - Toyota for race wins later on. It's the nature of the game.
