Ferrari’s Bold Move in Bahrain
As the F1 teams rolled into Bahrain, Ferrari showed up armed with an upgraded SF-25, featuring a redesigned floor that would make any engine aficionado’s heart race. This latest upgrade, alongside changes to the floor edges and diffuser, marks a significant step forward for Scuderia. However, their race against McLaren has only just begun. With the team currently stuck in P4 of the constructors’ standings, they’re determined to claw back the 76 points separating them from the leaders.
Lewis Hamilton Weighs In
After the opening day of track action, Lewis Hamilton chimed in, confirming that Ferrari’s updates are “definitely working.” His words seem to echo the whispers of change reverberating through the paddock. However, it’s clear that the sweltering heat during the first practice session caused havoc, with grip issues raining on Ferrari’s parade. By the end of FP2, Charles Leclerc managed to put the highest-ranking Ferrari in P4, though he still found himself half a second behind McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, who took the top spot.
The Road Ahead: What’s Next for Ferrari?
As Hamilton put it, “just consistency” will be crucial moving forward. He reflected on the challenges faced in FP2, describing it as “fun yet difficult,” which has become a theme for many drivers this season. The main objective now is to hone the SF-25 into a reliable machine that performs consistently across various speeds. With Hamilton’s insight and Ferrari’s experimental spirit, fans have plenty to look forward to as the Bahrain Grand Prix unfolds. Will their upgrades give them the edge they need to close the gap?
