Lewis Hamilton set for Ferrari upgrade, but Charles Leclerc unsure of its impact
Ferrari will debut their new rear suspension at the Belgian Grand Prix after testing it at Mugello, but Charles Leclerc’s initial response was tepid. The upgrade was tested with Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton completing laps at the Italian circuit. The team hopes this tweak will turn around their lackluster performance in the 2025 F1 season. Despite approval to race it at Spa-Francorchamps, early signs suggest it may not be a game-changer. Leclerc remains skeptical about the impact, hinting at no significant improvement. The modification aims to provide better ground clearance control and more consistent aerodynamic load for the drivers. Ferrari has struggled with an inadequate suspension setup, affecting their competitiveness and resulting in disqualifications and compromised lap times. The team aims to address these issues during the limited practice time at Spa ahead of the race weekend.
