2025 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

[Xyz22]

Very tough race but expected.
Ferrari was clearly 4th in the race as well. Thankfully George doesn't like Suzuka very much and Charles got him in quali.


Such a shame. Norris and McL are significantly more vulnerable than Max and Red Bull but the SF 25 is just not quick enough. Terrible.

Is there any news about upgrades of floor for the race in Bahrain?

Lol

If charles was writting his statements here, you guys would pile on him like you do on us and call us doomers.

Its clear that he looks defeated, the worst in his career, he has such a high hopes for this years car.
Ferrar looks lost once again and it seems they will switch on to next year

I have high hopes for Charles. Not for lewis...he's a money exercise at this point

[Jurgen von Diaz]

So Lewis did setup experiments. What has changed since Mercedes? Just the color of the suit to red. I have always believed that it is Lewis who is into the experiments, not Mercedes.

[venkyhere]

Antonelli 'pulled away' from Hamilton by some 8-9 seconds despite Hamilton being on the softer compound. That must have been chastising. And the "where am I losing time" question was amateurish for a 7 time WDC. He got the reply "8,9, 12,13" something like that. And again asks "by how much" - well what was he going to do about that anyway , it couldn't be 1/2 a second, must be a tenth or something like that in each place.
Doesn't look like the 'cool & calm even in adversity' Hamilton of old -- looks too impatient for his own good. Perhaps the last three years in Mercedes has changed him. "Perhaps".

Can we stop with this unga bunga caveman like discussions, we get it on your stance about Hamilton but it doesn’t provide any beneficial discussion in the thread other than that showing it lives rent free in your heads like Max does in Norris’s one.

Is there any news about upgrades of floor for the race in Bahrain?

Leclerc said there would be a floor upgrade for both cars that would hopefully make them more competitive. Hamilton said he'd have a new floor because he's been losing "a tenth" with his current one, though it's unclear whether he meant only for him or for both cars. Vasseur said there would be upgrades eventually but they need to fix their current issues first.

The way I understood all this is that there will be a new floor in Bahrain for both of them, but this floor isn't expected to be a huge performance upgrade, rather something to help with the car's handling.

I have no idea how accurate this is. This is only what makes the most sense to me given the context and three people saying seemingly three different things...

Lewis meant his car, and agreed, from the way im reading it, it seems like the the upgrades in bahrain are more of corrective measures first than for just outright performance

Based on what Vasseur said, it seems to me they're going to be holding off on upgrades until they get the car balance sorted out.

both autoracer and AMuS are still saying upgrades are coming in bahrain and even Charles was talking about his hopes that the upgrades in Bahrain would help add performance post race interview. It wouldnt make sense to me to hold off on the upgrades when theyre all saying that the car is basically just lacking in performance to the other top teams.

It makes no sense to me that only Hamilton's car would have a mechanical issue with the floor... surely he hasn't been running the literal same floor with zero changes all three weekends?

Hamilton often says confusing things after poor races - since he mentioned the floor specifically and Leclerc also mentioned a new floor coming next week, it seems that they're talking about the same thing, just saying it in different ways.

Again, this is only my impression of the three giving what appear to be conflicting statements.

[Seanspeed]

I must have seen other race than you guys here. What i saw is the 1st 5 running in safe mode and noone was able to really close to the front runner because he would had destroy his tyres. The differences no matter if it is 1sec or 7sec nothing has to do with the car abilities than to stay behind to save yourself.

For this i can say only "Well done Pirelli, well done FIA for this joke of racing"

They don't even respect the fans where today it was full house of 255.000 people watching slot car racing in one line.
I've had it with this nonsense really.

Huh? The tires were fine. It was an extremely comfortable one stop race. Drivers were doing their best times at the end of the long stint on Hards.

It was actually the strong durability of the tires(and it simply being a track hard to overtake on) that led to things being boring. Surely that's like, very obvious?

[Chuckjr]

Reality check: an few updates are not going to fix this car, nor bring it to the sharp end. Full stop. This year is now a 2026 testing session for Ferrari. The 2025 WDC is between Max and Macca. The end.

Indeed. There are trolls in this thread that moved from the Mercedes thread and must bash every race weekend.
Mercedes had a faster car and Kimi had a tyre offset in the end with the best compound.
Not sure what's the bashing all about.
Hamilton was never going to overtake Kimi nor Russell. He was the only one that gained a place and Hadjar was not slow.

Hamilton said he and Adami found something. It was not the floor explicitly. Not sure why his whole post race comment was not posted and only Charle's.
It may be an adjustment that he has never used before. It does not sound like it is a part to be upgraded.
So let's see next week.

Bahrain will be hot and may suit the car. If Lewis does well, let's see if the trolls come out again.

I think people just need to be patient. It's only race 3 and the 2nd dry race. And it's Suzuka.

Mercedes are probably more dissapointed than Ferrari at this point.
