Lewis Hamilton has denied that Ferrari is working on an advanced rear suspension
https://x.com/fiagirly/status/1923024242477502619I don't know what you're talking about. I'm not doing any work on the rear suspension. As mentioned, from Barcelona, we will try to unlock some performances that we have not been able to exploit.”
“We are following our plan. We hope to be able to get at least a little more than the last race. In Spain everyone will have to fit a different front wing. It will be interesting to see how it will affect the grid, we won't know until we're there.
The car still has a lot of performance that we couldn't unlock. I hope that this week we can start taking at least one step in the right direction.”
“There is one problem in particular with the car, probably the most significant, and it is what we are trying to fix. But there are also other related problems, which in the end make us waste time.”
“At the moment, I'm aware of some things that are in the pipeline, but I can't tell you if we'll be able to earn four tenths, half a second, or a second by the end of the season. We can't close the door to any idea, we have to keep our eyes open and our heads up. We must continue to push with the expectation and goal of winning.
Nobody is entirely reliable when it comes to talking about Ferrari updates, especially ones beyond the coming weekend.Luscion wrote: ↑15 May 2025, 16:23Wouldnt be surprised if Ferrari are just hiding it, Autoracer are usually spot on with their info, but also interesting that he mentions Barcelona as to when theyre going to try to unlock performance, maybe they are bringing their big upgrade package there like previously reported?

Exceptions always exist, but they are called exceptions for a reason.Mosin123 wrote: ↑14 May 2025, 00:04Max is that loyal, he has a contract clause that sees him leave should Redbull fail to provide him with a competitive car.....Seanspeed wrote: ↑13 May 2025, 21:58No, that's reasonable enough. But Max has been more loyal to Red Bull than Lewis was to Mclaren. So it feels a bit different, at least.DJ Downforce wrote: ↑11 May 2025, 23:11
That's the same for most top level driver fans though. If Max went to Merc so would his fans etc. Maybe you didn't mean it in this way.
Either way, the point about there being a bunch of Lewis+Ferrari fans before Lewis joined Ferrari is hilarious nonsense.
You sure you cant find a single Ferrari fan who was a LH fan before LH joined Ferrari? i know a good few. are most f1 fans not fans of multiple drivers? and more team focused?
Nobody said anything about you being allowed to support whatever team.ringo wrote: ↑14 May 2025, 03:48I have been watching F1 from 1999.
Hamilton debut was 2007.
The sport is bigger than online threads with overly obsessed fans.
When so called hamilton fans post in other threads they are asked why sre they posting there. So it seems the modern F1 fan should be a dedicated loyalist to an individual team or driver.
It's ok to support a handful of drivers or teams, even if there are levels of preference.
There are many Shumacher supporters who gravitated to Lewis when Michael left in 2006.
Maybe they were bandwagonist who did not really have a reason to support Ferrari if Michael was not driving one. Then Michael went to Mercedes, then Hamilton went there. Alonso went from Ferrari to Mclaren.
Makes no sense drawings lines about F1 fans. You're going to drive yourself crazy coming up with ignorant theories about who is allowed to support what team.

Yes, we are also working on the mechanics of the SF-25 because it's something we can carry forward. This could also apply to other teams," admitted the Ferrari Team Principal, speaking about the ongoing work to try to improve the car's potential. "We are trying to understand how we can improve our performance and we are therefore working on both aerodynamic and mechanical aspects." The head of the Ferrari pit wall specified that the team is carrying out work that could also be useful for future regulations. "At the aerodynamic level, we won't be able to bring anything from this generation of cars into the next one. The rules are different. Working on mechanics, however—I won't go into details—but there are some things that could also be useful for next year.
The Frenchman also responded to some criticisms directed at the team heading into next year. "It's true that we've taken a step back in terms of pure performance," Vasseur admits, "although there's always the feeling that we haven't extracted the full potential from the car." Regarding his team, however, there is still confidence in the working group assembled by the former Alfa Romeo and Renault boss. "It's true that the team is 95% the same as in previous years, but we have changed the Technical Director, for example. Loic Serra wasn't with us six months ago. Furthermore, next year, instead of taking a step backward, we might take one forward, and perhaps others might take a small step backward. We certainly need to improve, but I think we have a great team and we're on the right track."
Focus on the team please. What has the forum become, an extremist movement?Seanspeed wrote: ↑15 May 2025, 18:25Nobody said anything about you being allowed to support whatever team.ringo wrote: ↑14 May 2025, 03:48I have been watching F1 from 1999.

They are questioning whether your criticisms of Ferrari are coming from any informed basis. Whether you were actually paying attention to the specifics of Ferrari's organization that you so often bash and make hard claims about.
It's very obvious you're not a Ferrari fan. Which is fine, these aren't 'fan topics', and anybody can contribute to them. But I dont think it's hard to see what your motivations are and whether or not your constant critical posts about Ferrari are coming from any genuine place of concern or whether you just aren't happy with Ferrari not flattering a certain somebody lately and then make reactionary hot takes in response.
They also say Ferrari have a new rear wing this weekendFerrari and Mercedes are still holding back in Imola with their upgrades. The final aero package only comes in Barcelona.
Final aero package for who? Mercedes or Ferrari?Luscion wrote: ↑15 May 2025, 21:06from AMuS

It is understood that the modifications planned to the suspension are intended to create more space around the gearbox to allow for greater damper capacity
In being able to better control the ride height, this will help it run closer to the ground without the risk of striking the ground as regularly.
