2025 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

Leclerc's pace was good relative to the rest of the field but still no match for the McLaren across the whole race.

I guess a P3/P4 finish is basically the maximum for today so we should be happy.

When you have to lico on the first stint it's a disaster, the new floor didn't fix the brake compromise problem, we need to wait Spa new suspension.

In fairness, you lift coast at the beginning, in an effort to hopefully do less of it later in the race. First stint lift and coast isn’t out of the ordinary.

In his interview on Sky it seemed like they mis-predicted the weather slightly, they thought it was going to be slightly cooler than it was. So the brakes were not being cooled enough and obviously you pay that on a heavy car, after s1 they could let it go more and everyone was on pace.

Otherwise they said that since they were in no man’s land, they wanted to bring home the result without risks.

wonder whats up with that, this is the second weekend in a row theyve miscalculated how hot its was going to be

Ferrari had a really good race here, which may go unnoticed because of the McLaren kerfuffle and the 20s gap at the end. Being less than 3 tenths off the leader's pace was actually great for this race. For reference, Mercedes was almost 1 second down on McLaren. A shame Max was taken out, would have been nice to have a reference on him as well. But discounting McLaren, it seemed like Ferrari was really comfortable in being 2nd fastest this weekend.

And this is all before the suspension upgrade.

I am more than sure that it was like that throughout the race, our pace was at the level of McLaren for a few laps, and then suddenly dropped like half a second, and not gradually, that is, the tires were not to blame.

Autoracer said they'll have confirmation "very very soon" on what will be brought to Silverstone, if anything

[Macklaren]

Ferrari clearly second best here but gap to McLaren still very large. Was 0.8s in initial laps when Ferrari were LICO and finishing 20s behind on such a short lap when the McLarens were fighting hard with each other and traffic...
Anyways will be interesting when suspension updates come. I'd rather the McLarens be fighting the Ferraris than Max or each other

really hoping for the new suspension

This was a very good race. Very good race. The pace was good and the LICO being for brakes is great news.

McLaren seem to be able to use the tires more at the beginning of the stint and some 10 laps later, do similar times to Ferrari. If suspension upgrade will help here, second in WCC and a few wins can't be ruled out.

Best part is both cars being there on any given day. Bodes well when the car is fast eventually.

Lewis also talked about balance issues with his car

Hamilton also admitted that he's edging closer towards his team-mate's set-up. While he's not entirely comfortable with the levels of oversteer it produces, it seems to be bearing fruit.

"Set-up even closer to Charles, yeah," he said. "He drives a massively oversteering car. Somehow slides the rear, so it doesn't have degradation. When I slide the rear, I get massive degradation.

"It's definitely something I think you have to get used to. Supposedly, it took Carlos a couple of years to get used to. I don't want to do that."

Sainz was driving a completely different car and his driving style was not like that.

for me it feels like lewis wants a more neutral car? he complains a lot about understeer as much as oversteer..
