2025 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

I think there has been some solid analysis showing they lost significant time for Charles and Lewis. If they had just sacrificed Lewis, Charles would have been in a strong position to catch Kimi.

I think they both had a chance at catching Ant. Lewis took the best out of his tires sitting in Charles dirty air for multiple laps, and Then Charles lost time in Lewis's dirty air.

So both the SF25 and the Ferrari F1 technical department have enormous theoretical potential!

Shame we can't see it in practical terms

That's the essence of challenge in F1 .... theoretical meets realisation in the heat of competition against other teams operating in the same reality space. Literally, there's nowhere to hide, no PR bu**sh*te, just absolutely naked performance .... which is what makes it so very interesting.

I feel as previously posted in the thread, this car is not far away at all from competitive pace, something fundamental in there is preventing it taking that last step.
More reporting (supposedly from those in team confidence) that they understand and are working on that definition, needed more than ever now.
They can't dump this one, there's huge need to find out IF they correctly identify what they've got wrong, for this year and future seasons.

The W13 was also meant to be 1 second faster if they could just fix a few pesky issues.......

I just hope it comes soon so I don't build up too much hopium.

A major difference between Ferrari and Mercedes in this set of regs is that Ferrari have built better cars and have that data to use for troubleshooting the SF25.

Mercedes only had theoretically faster updates that perform a certain way.

W13 - at the start was way slower but by seasons end was at a similar pace to the f175 at some tracks

W14- Mercedes finished ahead in constructors so you could argue they had a better car over the season

W15 - sf24 definitely way better apart from mid season

W16 - better than Ferrari so far

That's about 2-2 so I don't think it's fair to say Ferrari have been way better.

None of the those were faster than the Ferrari's really. Even 2023. They were 3rd at almost all tracks but were consistently so while AM, Ferrari and McLaren took turns being 2nd.

SF23 took 7 poles so had speed
