2025 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

Some suggest it is an “escape,” given the unresolved issues of Ferrari’s V6 turbo, which has pushed extreme boundaries of combustion pressures and temperatures, requiring interventions on cylinder heads to avoid reliability failures.

This may be why Mercedes engines are seen as the benchmark, with Ferrari’s unit rated slightly lower.

Outdoing computer expectations is not easy. And seeing a 12° delta lower on the tire barely trying via a tiny change!
I bet they understood, you don't become a 7-time world champion by luck :

Unless the data on F1insightshub.com is wrong, I can't see how this guy's YT video is accurate at all. Of course there is no steering trace on this website, but things like throttle, brake and speed traces point the exact opposite of what that video suggests. I specifically looked at lap27, and can see that the claim in that video is wrong. Then looked at lap26 and lap28 and it's the same story there as well. Then I took lap5 where LEC was slower than HAM, as he had finished off his battery in the fight with Piastri and was on recharge without DRS, while HAM had DRS and was 0.5s faster than his teammate. Even there, HAM is losing time to his teammate through the Lesmos. I tried finding a random lap where HAM was faster than LEC through Lesmo2 (as the video claims) and gave up after a few attempts, because that wasn't the case. If the guy who posted the video can actually come up with the data trace that shows that what he is alluding to is true, then I will believe that video.

What is the source of those traces?
In recent years I have seen people publishing these and I can only guess they are compiled from screen grabs of the onboards? Otherwise does the FIA publish the telemetry?

F1 releases telemetry data (don't exactly know who, whether it's FoM or FIA or the teams themselves) via python packages like FastF1 or OpenF1 (the ones I know of) ; which, would then be accessed by the public using Python scripts to build 'analysis' and then use various database/math tools to publish graphs, plots etc on their websites. The one I refer to, is F1insightshub.com which our member Emag kindly hosts. There are others like f1tempo.com, racingstatisticsf1.com etc. My posts are nothing but screengrabs from these websites.

It's definitely not 'screengrab' from telecast (what do you anyway see on the telecast, other than laptimes and at best sector times?)

Don't know how reliable, but apparently Zimmerman and Schmidt have already completed the conceptual design of the power unit and tests are being scheduled for the Dyno. The 2026 power unit has been optimized in terms of its performance at higher internal temperatures, with less heat exchange.

Also this,

"In close synergy with the aerodynamics department, reinforced by the arrival of Franck Sanchez, it is believed that the internal fluid dynamics of the 2026 Ferrari will be particularly innovative, based on a strong boost from the power unit's packaging."


They also talk about a rumour that was spread through the paddock that merc engines would be well ahead and that Ferrari were struggling, but that's it'sjust a political game to sway engineers not to move to Maranello, merc have denied people from their PU department went to Ferrari but their sources say otherwise , significant technical transfers between the top 3 teams expected

They aren't releasing it, people are pulling if from the api that's feeds the app. Several years back we had threads about it, such as this one for example.

What no one knows, is how good the data actually is, because everyone involved has motive not to provide high quality data. Thus the data has likely been massaged in several ways to make it look good, and potentially be informative at a high level, but no ones is going to get detailed information from it.
