New suspension at Canadian GP?

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/shou ... /10729495/

Ahead of the Canadian Grand Prix, where Ferrari is planning on introducing a new floor and rear suspension, the team doesn’t want to keep its hopes up. Even in Maranello, the SF-25 is branded a ‘bad car’, and the next updates are expected to improve the situation without actually turning it around.

Would be ideal, bring this then switch to 26

Here's hoping

That seems way too good to be true. I'd be more worried than excited if that was the case LOL.

It is possible to come so soon.
Best the suffering ends as soon as possible. The quicker it happens the sooner they can focus on 2026.

It will also give the engineers some confidence going into the new regs. I'm sure the problems this season have led to some demoralisation within the organisation - whether it was the result of someone who left or not

[Farnborough]

There's really only one criteria .... the ability to answer this question fully with their design. If not, it's likely next years design will also come into the same difficulties.

This team is really looking for competence in this area of mechanical design, howsoever that's achieved.

McL etc is not going to go away under new PU regs. Championship are born from understanding the fundamentals.

The performance is all, not the timing now.

[ringo]

It looks like the error was a forced error, almost like a typo. Which is good, because other than that, there is nothing else they say they do not understand or need to investigate. I wonder how much performance will it bring?
Will this just make the car as good as RB21 and still be behind McLaren?

Suppousedly they've detected the suspension not doing what was expected in the pre-season.
And at most on China they decided to stop trying to work around the flaws, a redesign was needed.

It's gonna be almost 3 months work, maybe more, on the suspension.

What a joke of a reporter

Shhhh let us have some hope

The article is full out invented stories

Leclerc was happy that he sacrificed starting position after the race, article says otherwise

"SF-25 is considered a bad car in Maranello" - nonsense, the car is not what people in Maranello are dissilusioned about

"Ideas to improve and updates are scarce" - nonsense, they are holding back until they put new suspension on so that everything can work together

Nugnes is an absolute joke, the few things he gets right in the season are becoming fewer and fewer

His reputation is falling by the day, I’m surprised that people still talk about his articles, when it is clear that it has become fully clickbait.

With his articles, he has also joined the toxic Italian media which put Ferrari under unnecessary pressure, no surprise that the good old Fred has now a habit of talking BS to them as you do to idiots.

I do remember him talking some nonsense about Mercedes' 2024 car during the pre season.

Do you have your own sources which are also proving that he's posting nonsense?

[mstar]

From what i am hearing on the italian ferrari F1 forum (where people allegedly (?) know people near Marenello -take it with a pinch of salt), they are actually really happy with most of the car concepts. As Vanja said in his X tweets the car is suffering from rear suspension/ride height but fundamentally if they fix that they can be quick. The car isn't a no-hoper and useless as people are saying. It has good ideas all around the car. This is what the engineers think the PANIC seems to be the press making scare stories like "Fred is in danger being sacked, loic serra is going to be fired etc etc" its nothing like that. The F1 team is working on a solution which they are confident will fix most of the issue and they be up there with RB/Mcl by Silverstone. There isn;t much panic at the factory people are saying on the italian scuderia F1 forum. So don;t believe the press and hype. Lewis was in the factory this week and worked through set-ups for canada.

As director and chief editor of Motorsport Italy, you'd expect him to focus on facts and clear insight...

You just need to read Auto Racer IT to understand how much nonsense Nugnes is spewing. In the last 24 months, he was only right about small change to SF24 floor in Hungary and then proceeded to make a claim of big updates to come in Zandvoort which came in Monza.

Oh no Vanja, it is a shame that it is the opposite of what it should be; fortunately we have the guys of Autoracer and some twitter accounts like yours, and we are all right with all the info we need to know

If this is indeed the case one has to wonder why not communicate the issue to their fanbase instead of this silly PR dance for 9 races now which comes across as rather insulting..

"We have a major issue with the suspension and it will take 4 months to fix it."

Simple.

It would be very stupid to do it if they are not sure they are going to fix it.
For all we know, the car might have more flaws and the rear suspension can’t solve all of them.
I think they will be quick, but imagine Fred does what you say and then Mclaren still wins comfortably; he would look like a fool, would not he?
He is in a very delicate position, to not trash the team in public and at the same time to not raise too high expectations.

He knows better than any of us how it needs to be communicated and how to run a F1 team.
