When Ferrari was about to return to Imila, most of the attention poured into Lewis Hamilton and the long -term upgrades that could have been saved for his first difficulty season with the racing team. Although Hamilton and Charleslair agreed that the SF25 had potential for performance, both admitted that there was basically something inhibiting the car.

With the racing team only announcing a small change for IMA despite the previous predictions about a big reform, the question is whether this increase is enough to rotate Ferrari’s luck. Will these upgrades help Hamilton maintain the season or it’s too late to succeed? Let’s find out the whole story.
Lewis Hamilton entered the weekend at Imil to find the answer and maybe he has not found them yet. Although showing signs of competition at the beginning of the season, Ferrari’s development stopped. Initially, it was rumored that this scooter would bring significant improvements to their home race.
However, according to group manager Fred Vaser, Imila will only have a small step in the development process. It is not the news that Hamilton or Charleslair hopes that after the disappointing Miami GP race shows the big mistakes of SF25. Is these upgrades enough to help Hamilton launch the new season? Will they come in time to attack Imila? Let’s see what Ferrari’s upcoming and whether their 2025 campaign could be saved.

Ferrari needs more efforts if they want to narrow the gap with Mercedes and Red Bull, especially McLaren. Marinelo is planning to upgrade. However, there may be no solution immediately. Right from the beginning of the season, the Ferrari team director Fred Vaser commented on the potential of SF25.
For everyone in the group, now more than ever, we must focus on the goal of helping Charles and Lewis to fully exploit the potential of SF25 consistently. Because up to now, we can only do it on Friday and the sprint in China. This is Vaser’s thought before the Japanese car race race when he is sure that the performance can be improved further.
However, since then, the evidence shows that the main limitation of the group is the speed. This does not mean that Ferrari has not acknowledged the setting errors that affect their performance. However, the failure against McLaren could not be entirely due to this cause. Despite being the first team to make great progress by 2025, SF25 still did not have many highlights in many aspects.
In the context of Mercedes and McLaren has not made improvement, this stagnation is really worrying. According to Gazetta, Ferrari will not have any major upgrades for the next two races at Imil and Monaco. After making some changes, the Italian team must wait until the Spanish Formula 1 car race when the flexible wing guidance of FIA is applied to receive strengthening.
This may force Ferrari to accept damage limit, at least at the present time. Like most other teams, Scuderia’s 2025 campaign can be determined by FIA’s future technical indicators. However, the failure between McLaren’s season in Spain may not be enough to save Ferrari.
The budget limit and limitations on wind tunnels have made F1 significantly more competitive in recent seasons. Although some midfielders are still catching up with larger teams in terms of infrastructure, this sport is currently in a more fair playground. At the same time, these limitations make groups have very little space to make mistakes during development.
If the upgrade package is not correlated correctly with the original data, it can take months to fix the error. In this sense, Ferrari’s problems may become worse by 2025. In the winter, this scooter decided to replace the front suspension. Surprisingly, Har, the company offers many parts from Ferrari, decided not to make this adjustment but still retains the push bar suspension system.
Because Vaser’s group has made significant adjustments during the winter to build SF25, there are questions related to the inherent limitations of this car. If the team goes wrong in the winter, they will have little time to recover, especially when compared to McLaren. The DSQ record of the team in China has proved that despite its best efforts, Ferrari still dropped behind the opponent.
With unexpectedly upgrades in a few rounds and believing in these updates is not high, the Marinelo team faces another difficult patch. Just two weeks after the announcement that Ferrari will bring a significant upgrade to Imila, Fred Vaser said this is just a small step. That will bother Lewis Hamilton and Charleslair, who complained about the speed of SF25 at the 1 Miami formula racing tournament.
None in the team is satisfied with the performance of the car at Miami Autodrome this weekend, although Hamilton has returned to the podium in the sprint race when the third destination. However, in the Grand Prix qualifying round, the world champion seven times could not go further than Q2, where he went to the fastest 12th place while Lair ranked eighth on the rankings.
The Grand Prix took place a bit better when the seventh finish and Hamilton returned to the ninth. Although his radio message is mostly negative about the speed of his car and racing engineer, Ricardo Adami. After the race, he shared with the media that he believed the car was excellent performance. We are simply no.
There is something that is hindering us right now. We have lost its performance since China. It is there. We just can’t use it. Therefore, we need to solve that problem. He added that I really believed that when we overcome some problems that the car encountered, we would be able to return to the battle with Mercedes, with Bulls, and that could not come faster.
However, that repair is difficult to take place for the next event, the recipe racing 1 Amelia Romana. Last month, it was rumored that Ferrari, headed by the technical director Loic Saha, plans to bring a significant aerodynamic improvement package to the Imila race. However, the stories about the reshaping of the side compartments and redesigning the floor seem to be exaggerated because it is currently reported that although IMIL is the first race in the two home racing tracks of Ferrari, there will be only small changes. According to
Italian newspaper Gazeta Deloo Sport, Ferrari will bring something new to the seventh race, but not too much because it is important to balance ambition with the schedule. The schedule to witness Ferrari and racing competitors at IMLA, Monaco and Spain, with the third event marks the launch of the revised technical indicator to reduce the impact of the wing flexibly.
Depending on the flexibility of the car wing until that time, this may affect the rest of the car’s aerodynamics, requiring more changes. Fred Vaser, director of Ferrari team, refers to this in Miami. The French said that IMLA will have updates, but not only at development.
The problem is to find the best compromise with this car. We certainly plan to take a small step for IMA, then a step for Barcelona, but the most important thing is to arrange everything together. IMLA will probably be more suitable for us Miami because we have many difficulties when cornering low speed.
This is not the first time Verse hesitated to change the car this season. Luigi Madzola shared with Skye’s Race Anatomy that he had a completely different approach than the former Ferrari Matia Benatoto director. The former Ferrari engineer is concerned that SF25 has no potential.
He explained that the motto has changed a bit. When Matier Benato is here, we need to understand. Now with Fred Vaser, we need to search. And they are looking for this lucky potential that cannot be found because it does not exist. To be honest, both drivers believe in that. And the performance is like that.
In addition, whenever Fred Vers is asked about updates, now we talk about Imila and Barcelona, he deceived them aside. I have this question and hope I mistakenly think that there will be very few upcoming updates. That is why he likes to turn their attention to potential even though it is no longer suitable for what the drivers are saying and the situation seems catastrophic for him.
During the winter holiday, Ferrari is considered the brightest candidate to challenge McLaren for this year’s championship. The Marinelo team is said to be equal to McLaren at the end of 2024 thanks to the extremely effective development program. Ferrari’s trouble with SF25 is something no one expected after the momentum of development last year.
When the 2025 season has passed a quarter, the chance of recovery of scooter is quickly passed. Like other teams, the first improvement was introduced in 2025 initially expected to be made at the end of 2025. Therefore, the assumptions of the Ferrari’s SF25 development process must be reassused, raising uncertainty in their future direction.
This raises the question of whether Marinelo’s future improvements can create enough pressure to put significant pressure on McLaren. In addition to the incumbent champions, Red Bull and Mercedes also have upcoming upgrades. No team has quick improvements like Ferrari, raising concerns about the achievements of the Vaser team.
If Christian and Toto Wolf’s team progress, they will be the best positions to benefit from the potential recession of McLaren after FIA’s soft wing. Despite difficult circumstances, Fred Vaser is still optimistic about the direction of the team this season. Similarly, this French driver refused to panic although the performance of SF25 so far is very bad.
His thoughts after the 1 Miami recipe racing showed his worldview. We are not really balanced this weekend, especially in the classification round yesterday. And today, we have struggled in the middle of the group with very few opportunities to get better results.
When we were in the air, we were close to Mercedes and Red Bull on speed. After a race like this, it will obviously feel disappointed, but we need to focus and continue efforts to solve problems, gradually overcome our limitations. Strategically, our decision is right.
We put both riders in virtual safety cars and this allows Lewis to run behind Charles when the race starts again. After that, we changed the car as soon as we were sure we were not dangerous to Charles from the rear cars. Lewis uses average tires and we want to catch up with Kimmy Antenelli. It does not work.
Therefore, we reversed the call at the end according to our standard process. The bet for Ferrari when participating in the European race of the season cannot be higher. While IML and Barcelona are expected to have increased steps, McLaren’s sublimation performance has put great pressure on Scooteria. Hamilton’s assessment of SF25 that something is inhibiting it a lot, especially when the internal confidence in the true potential of the car is weakened.
If the upcoming technical instruction in Spain changes the competitive situation, Ferrari must prepare to take advantage. However, unless the Immar improvement brings significant improvement in performance, this squad is at risk of lagging behind. With rivals like Mercedes and Red Bull are speeding up the development process and McLaren shows no signs of slowing down, the amplitude of Ferrari’s errors is falling rapidly.
Imila must be the beginning of the revival. If not, the ambition to win the title of Ferrari will drop to the fourth place.
