I dont think there's any 'too late' for it, because the goal here is clearly just 'ensure we've got what it takes to improve this car and validate our analysis and design capabilities and build confidence and momentum for 2026', not to win any championship which is a long gone hope.DJ Downforce wrote: ↑03 Jun 2025, 17:20The team must work like dogs to get this suspension to Canada if not Austria. Silverstone is too late and there's a 3 week break after meaning it will take a long time to verify data for future updates

This was floated by AR a few weeks ago but in more of a "it'd be nice if they did this but it's not being planned" way.
Just cannot take the bait. Notice how all this noise comes after the madness that took place at the Spanish Grand Prix by the navy blue car?ScuderiaLeo wrote: ↑04 Jun 2025, 13:24I hope Autoracer drops some news for us to discuss soon because I don't know if I can live with this thread devolving into Hamilton vs Leclerc trolling for the next two weeks...

It's just distractions from the navy blue car's fans.
Ferrari are fine. 2nd in the constructors, gaining more points in the last 3 races than everyone that is not McLaren.
Hamilton scored more points than he did last year. Has not wasted points with any crashes or temper tantrums. The team is not dissappointed at all. It's a long season and the best time to learn and acclimatize is when you don't have the best car.
All is well. No point in degrading the thread to driver ying yang. Hamilton has nothing to prove, he'a still the GOAT, just and old one, and nothing wrong with Ferrari wanting Charles to get a title with Lewis in decline at Ferrari to retire.
If Lewis wins a few races, eats pizza and sells caps that's fine.
When Ferrari make the best car that's when Hamilton will come alive.
No Details on Upgrades
Ferrari will continue developing its SF-25. That's all we learn from Maranello. Vasseur refuses to specify either the timing or scope of possible upgrades. On one hand, to avoid raising excessive expectations in Italy, and on the other, because perhaps more track time in understanding the tires matters more than a modified floor. Only one remark from the Frenchman caught attention: "We will bring upgrades, but not all will be visible." This suggests changes to the mechanics. Rumors have persisted for some time that Ferrari wants to modify the suspension to bring the tires into their window faster without overworking them during long runs.
