Ferrari drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc are gearing up to test the SF-25 upgrades at the Mugello circuit. The Maranello-based team has planned a two-day test session, where the reserve drivers will take the SF-23 out on the track, while Hamilton and Leclerc will be behind the wheel of the SF-25.
One of the key focuses of this testing session will be the suspension of the SF-25. Both Hamilton and Leclerc will have the opportunity to try out both the old and new suspension setups, with the new one scheduled to arrive at the track on July 17. The primary goal of this upgrade is to address the ride-height issues that the team has been facing with the challenger.
In preparation for the upcoming tests, both Ferrari F1 drivers are currently at Mugello for a filming day, getting acquainted with the track and the car ahead of the official test sessions.
The 2025 Formula 1 season has been a bit of a challenge for the Ferrari team. With 12 rounds completed, the team is yet to secure a Grand Prix victory. Despite holding onto second place in the Constructors’ Championship with 222 points, Ferrari’s position is largely due to the misfortunes of rivals Red Bull and Mercedes. As the season progresses, the team is looking to turn their luck around and make a mark among the top contenders in the sport.
The upcoming Round 13 at Spa-Francorchamps presents an opportunity for Lewis Hamilton and his teammates to showcase their performance and potentially clinch their first win of the season. With Hamilton expressing some struggles adapting to the new team after his long stint at Mercedes, the team is working hard to address any challenges and optimize their performance on track.
Former F1 driver turned Pundit, Damon Hill, shared his insights on Hamilton’s move to Ferrari in 2025, highlighting the learning curve and adjustments that come with switching teams after a long tenure at one place. Despite the challenges, both Hamilton and Leclerc are focused on maximizing their potential and delivering strong results for the team.
In the standings, Charles Leclerc currently leads the Ferrari lineup with 119 points, while Lewis Hamilton follows closely with 103 points. As they continue to fine-tune the SF-25 and prepare for the upcoming races, the team is optimistic about their chances of success and eager to make their mark in the competitive world of Formula 1.
