Ferrari emphasizes that their focus in developing the 2025 Formula 1 car is on performance rather than catering to individual driving styles, amid speculations favoring Lewis Hamilton or Charles Leclerc for the SF-25.
Both drivers are yet to secure their first win in 2025 due to ongoing car issues hampering Ferrari’s season, despite Leclerc’s improved performance with a couple of podium finishes.
Deputy Team Principal Jerome D’Ambrosio stressed during the British Grand Prix weekend that car development is about maximizing potential and downforce, not giving preference to specific drivers.
Ferrari aims to balance driver feedback without favoring one over the other, focusing on extracting maximum performance and managing the car’s balance challenges within current regulations.
D’Ambrosio highlighted the importance of phase-based development, first maximizing performance and then customizing it to fit each driver’s needs, steering away from the idea of adjusting the car solely based on one driver’s preferences.
