2025 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

[LM10]

Clearly Ferrari is cheating, they used their time at Fiorano, where they returned yesterday, and made it look like they'll be racing in china in the sprint from pole.

FIA needs to look into this, unacceptable.

Vasseur told me in utmost confidence they are cheating so bad and so much, but he's still disappointed with winter development

Funny because I got a call from Vasseur too. He told me that I should not be happy about the sprint qualifying result and rather keep my expectations as low as possible because they've done an awful job with the car overall. Here and there they will cheat like in China, but the real performance of the car is way off.

I don't know if I should tell this in the forum, but... they actually mounted the pull-rod front suspension the wrong way. Vasseur at the moment is trying everything to convince a McLaren engineer to explain them the secrets of suspension mounting in a crash course.

If Leclerc gets out qualified by hamilton consistently, it would call into question his standing in the pecking order. Russell would surpass him

AMazing! Leiws still got it.

Amazing how quickly the narrative can change, and makes you question what was going on at Mercedes. I think it’s clear, given how early Lewis to Ferrari was announced, that Mercedes ditched him and commenced a subtle campaign to undermine his talent.

Fantastic drive from Lewis. Charles isn't too far off the pace, just have to qualify better, really strong times in clear air.

I don't think we should be assuming that if Hamilton does well in Ferrari, it makes Russell some godly driver for beating him... but anyways what an insane thing to say after one session.

You can really tell who in this topic are Ferrari fans and who are here to start crap. A real Tifosi would be overjoyed at having two competitive drivers, same as last season. The same can't be said for some other teams.

The pace today looked really good. Great tire saving by both drivers with lower deg and they didn't sacrifice much pace at the start of the stint. If Leclerc can find more comfort in the car I think a double podium is possible. But we'll see how qualifying goes before getting too excited.

So, anyone willing to dispute whether it was the right decision to hire Lewis?

What an amazing drive, bravo.

The crucial factor is to be ahead in qualy. Charles times in free air were super strong but behind another car and the graining was bad.

I will watch it delayed, out with friend. What happened to MCL was going to dominate? Once again Ferrari must be cheating and Vasseur is disappointed at both the cheating and lack of performance.

What a sad year we have.

That’s not how it works

Finally some consistent dry track. It’s hard for me to take Australia’s results seriously as it was a mess weather wise, and these guys now get soo few testing miles, that it’s essentially a test.

Yea boyyy

Charles just needs to adjust the setup is all, he was losing quite a bit of time to Russell in the corners when he got into drs range cause the car wouldnt turn for him, positive is the his car looked quick even in dirty air towards the end

I think its less binary than that. The W13,W14,W15 just did not suit Lewis. This SF25 is the first car where Lewis looks like his old self. Russel did not face the same driver that Leclerc is facing. Just my subjective opinion.
Anyhow wrong thread for Russel talk.

Any how that was a Masterclass in driving. Charles had good pace and can still pole. It's not all Lewis' weekend.
It's been years seeing Lewis doing this kind of driving, possibly as far back as Mclaren days where the car was not the fastest and gaps had to be managed. At most vs Nico in the same car where tyres had to be micro managed.

The RB21 and MCL39 have more raw pace, but Ferrari surprisingly have good tyre deg. We saw this in Monza last year. Looks like the car kept those characteristics.

[evered7]

I think Leclerc should thank his stars that Ferrari signes Hamilton.

Lewis is just a different class. Lots of learnings can be had and with his natural pace, he can dominate if he bids his time right.

Don't sulk. This is the time to absorb everything from a guy who has been winning all his career and with three different teams

Lewis Hamilton just showed why he's a 7 time World Champion. Masterclass in driving.

My jaws are yet to shut after left open in amazement. I've seen Hamilton do this to Ferrari. But for him to pull away like that in a Ferrari, was just satisfying to the core.

Fingers crossed for the rest of the weekend.

Great work by the team.

If charles and sainz were driving that car people will believe ferrari are still bunch of losers who cant get their act together.they were moments last year were they drop it like failing to reach Q3 in singapore .lando too in a mclaren need to up his consistency if he want to win champ.
