‘Absolutely depressed!’ F1 fans react to hilarious ‘Ferrari tractor’ crash
A viral social media clip showing Ferrari’s 2025 F1 car portrayed as a tractor has elicited genuine reactions from Ferrari enthusiasts about the lackluster season. Ferrari failed to secure a single grand prix victory in 2025 for the third time in seven seasons, with driver Charles Leclerc unable to clinch a win for the fourth time in seven seasons. Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton endured a podium-less grand prix season, but did seize a sprint race win in China early on. Ultimately, Ferrari settled for a fourth-place finish in the constructors’ championship, and their SF-25 appeared no match for Mercedes, McLaren, or Max Verstappen’s Red Bull by season’s end.
A widely circulated social media clip humorously juxtaposed the erratic movements of a skidding tractor with the caption ‘The car that Ferrari provides their drivers for 2025’, sparking frustration among Ferrari fans who criticized the team in the comments section. Despite the criticisms, some fans managed to find a silver lining in the season, with one user pointing out that Ferrari wasn’t alone in facing challenges. Looking ahead to 2026, Ferrari is strategically shifting focus to the upcoming regulation changes and the release of the SF-26 on January 23 in hopes of reclaiming competitiveness on the grid.
In light of recent uncertainties surrounding the futures of Hamilton and Leclerc, the team is aiming to position themselves for a stronger showing in the upcoming season, leveraging the regulatory shifts to potentially challenge higher up the grid. While the 2025 season may have fallen short of expectations, Ferrari’s aspirations and preparations for 2026 offer renewed hope for a comeback in the competitive world of Formula 1.
