2025 Scuderia Ferrari F1 Team

[bluechris]

Is this thread going to be about Hamilton v/s his team mates (past and present) for the next 3 weeks ?
Is there any scope to discuss the car ?

Yeap, MB fans cannot see their own problems that is their whole team 5 years now cannot produce a decent car and they believe Toto excuses, but instead Hamilton is the problem.

I don't think it's MB fans, more like the pretty boy George fans, and the anyone but LH brigade!

Can we get a mod in here? What the heck is happening to this thread??? Personal attacks, completely off topic posts about non-Ferrari drivers, and even a racist comment. Half of this has nothing to do with Ferrari

[hollus]

Well, I couldn't agree more.

The “R” part has been dealt with.
As for the tiresome driver age, fan tribe, did 2023 happen at all sluggish repetition, come’on guys, you can do better. That is NOT what you yourselves want to see in this forum.
Walk away before posting more of it, it is impossible to get the last word in the internet.
Spam the thread at your own peril, warnings might follow if self-restrain doesn’t lead.


Opening again.

Feel like every Ferrari thread on every forum is a toxic wasteland this year.

Hamilton joining Ferrari has been one of the worst experiences for Ferrari fans.

And it was 100% predictable as soon as the Hamilton-to-Ferrari announcement was made. It was genuinely my first thought - "Oh boy, this is going to make discussion about Ferrari unbearable online". lol

Leclerc:
"There's something more in the car, I never talked about it and, believe me, it's better I don't talk about it. Let's hope the solution will come soon"

Vasseur:
"I think I know what he's talking about, but we're keeping it to ourselves."



the question is, what works in this car at all?
(probably its so embarrassing, they dont want to talk about it.)

It must be about the engine or something similar (like someone else posted above) That's the only thing I can think of that they haven't talked about yet that they might want to hide.

Three weeks is a long time, I'd be shocked if AR didn't have an article out on this before the next race

Motorsport Italia writes that the problem is in the power steering.

so, here's another thing drivers have to deal with.... how many "problems" does the SF-25 already have?

suspension (less downforce, plank wear)

brake issues, (helps with Q, but leads to extreme settings in the race)

fuel pump

engine problems (as you stated)

power steering


last year of regualtions, halfway through the season, and the car is not drivable


I am not surprised that there are rumours of potential sackings

The team has not reported on sackings but on deeper reorg.

The team also reported they are renewing V.

I’m good with this.

If even half of those are true I just don't understand how we got here from the SF-24. Sure the SF-24 had problems but we didn't see any signs of half of these, or at least none of it was bad enough for the drivers to complain about. Some lico at the end of the season but not as much as this year.

It's not only the fault of Vasseur, Vasseur didn't design every part of the car. Something fundamentally went wrong during winter development.

Also thank you Mods for helping clean up this thread.

[deadhead]

If there was a lot of turnover in engineering this kind of thing can happen but whoever is in charge of that transition is supposed to make the process as smooth as possible, which seems like it didn’t happen, especially the way Cardille left..

FV had some grandiose plan to lure in some top talent from the UK based outfits but it didn’t work so I’m guessing there was a major pivot at some point.

It’s not looking great from my perspective. There is obviously some very talented people in the team but some departments are obviously lacking massively.

Was just watching some analysis videos and found this. Both drivers keep saying some weird issue which they are aware of but does anyone really know what is this issue which Leclerc and Hamilton both keep mentioning.

The power steering keeps being mentioned more and more

Is it not the overhearing battery issue that they have? Maybe Rbr and McLaren can release more battery power during Q3?

[Jdn1327]

I don't agree about Leclerc being poor in the rain but hasn't he had three podiums this season? People are acting like he hasn't been in the top 10 in weeks lol I even saw some Italian media saying he should be swapped with Bearman

If anyone needs to be swapped out with bearman it's hamilton. So he does well in the rain? How many races in a year is there wet weather? Leclerc is consistent and IMHO he is fastest driver over a single lap. So yeah all this noise about wet weather needs to stop. Lewis was and always will be a marketing move. There's no shame in that. But stop comparing the 2. They are in the team for different purposes.

Hamilton has slowly closed that gap to Charles. You might not like hearing it, but it’s what has happened. Q this weekend was in the dry, and Hamilton has out performed Charles, the supposed fastest man over one lap, in three of the last four weekends.

Hamilton doesn’t need replacing, nor does, Charles. The issue is the car, like it always has been. Stop the driver nonsense.

So I guess Fred’s replacement is conveniently looking for a new job now….
