P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Ferrari has endured a challenging campaign this year, and a former driver believes the root of its issues relate to its execution, rather than outright speed.
Former F1 driver Jolyon Palmer believes Ferrari’s struggles in the 2025 F1 season are not due to a lack of pace in their car, but rather their “execution” during race weekends.
Despite high expectations after narrowly missing the constructors’ championship in 2024 and the addition of Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari has yet to win a grand prix this year, unlike the other top teams.
While Charles Leclerc has secured five podiums, Hamilton has not reached the podium for Ferrari, leading to the team falling behind Mercedes in the standings.
Palmer remains optimistic about Ferrari’s car potential but emphasizes the need for better execution, citing incidents such as Hamilton’s Q2 elimination in Baku and Leclerc’s crash in Q3.
Ferrari will look to improve their performance and reclaim second place in the standings at the upcoming Singapore Grand Prix, a track that historically suits their car but has seen setbacks in the past due to operational issues.
