Introduction to Ferrari’s Vision for 2025
Charles Leclerc has shared insights regarding Ferrari’s approach to the 2025 Formula 1 car. The team aims to make incremental improvements in every area rather than focusing solely on one aspect. This balanced strategy is designed to optimize performance across the board.
Lessons from the 2024 Season
Ferrari enjoyed a commendable 2024 campaign under the leadership of Fred Vasseur, claiming five victories and finishing second in the constructors’ standings. This positive trajectory marks continued progress for the team, which has been striving to reclaim its former glory in Formula 1. The revised SF-24 car proved its competitiveness, particularly in race conditions, helping to mitigate the wind sensitivity issues that plagued its predecessor.
Challenges Ahead
Despite the advancements made in the 2024 season, Ferrari still faces a formidable challenge. The team narrowly missed out on the constructors’ title to McLaren, finishing just 14 points behind. This shortfall underscores the ongoing need for development as they transition into 2025. Ferrari’s commitment to implementing “small steps” across various facets of the car will be crucial in their quest for championship success.
