2025 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

What a joke of a thread. But I'm not surprised even a bit.

Even the die hard Hamilton fans should mostly care about the car and not about his teammate… the car being slow is a much bigger issue than anything else.

In qualifying, the SF-25 was 0.7 seconds faster than the SF-24, with improved straight-line speeds of up to +12 km/h. However, in medium-speed corners, it was problematic, losing 0.4 seconds compared to the old car instead of gaining 0.3 seconds.

Everything was out of the optimal performance window, as if the drivers were driving with a 40-point DWF damage penalty.

but with the car raised you lose a lot of performance and downforce, so it's not surprising

I get why they keep talking about the potential then. However, it is honestly more worrying in a sense that they saw something on Friday that they know they could not run for the race - whether that is plank wear(which is a terribly odd constraint considering it was a nailed on wet race where you avoid kerbs) or something else, who knows, this change took the car totally out of the window. Having such a narrow window is a omen to me. In fact, SF25 lost 4 tenths from FP2 to Q3 in medium speed when riding lighter and pushing more... I have never seen anything like that before. This race weekend will be huge in terms of understanding where the team is at regarding the clear issue with the Saturday setup.

That is a 7 tenth swing Duchessa is talking about. Raising the car a couple mm shouldn't result in that drastic of a reduction in pace, otherwise the car's window is way too narrow

we don't know how much the car was raised, the second question is about the rear suspension and gearbox, Ferrari in all the fastest laps of qualifying sometimes drove at a higher power and sometimes at a lower one, which is also very strange for qualifying

Duchessa as always with Ferrari’s PR managment.
Why doesnt he say then the cause of this dwf loss, what tf did they do to the car. They couldnt stop speaking on friday how correlation is amazing and how car became better than expected.

It was just an one off race. Maybe Ferrari is slow but that was obviously an outlier given Williams and Racing Bulls were so competitive. Wait for a few more races my god.....

Did it ever occur to you that he simply doesn't have that information? What in this tweet is PR management lol. Being slower in any kind of corner than the previous year's car is a huge error.
