“What is wrong with this car? I wish I knew. What’s in the pipeline? We’ve got quite a few things but I cannot give any timelines.”
Charles Leclerc acknowledges Ferrari’s disappointing start to the 2025 F1 season, hinting at upcoming upgrades to address their underperformance. Despite only achieving one podium so far, Ferrari has shown potential but struggles to challenge McLaren at the front. This is a stark contrast to their second-place finish last year in the constructors’ championship. Ferrari has identified a rear car issue and plans to introduce a new rear suspension, possibly by the British Grand Prix. Leclerc remains optimistic, emphasizing the team’s determination not to give up and mentioning the upcoming regulation changes as a critical factor for their future competitiveness. In anticipation of the flexible front wings clampdown at the Spanish Grand Prix, Leclerc believes it may help Ferrari close the gap but doubts it will drastically alter the current pecking order in F1.
