Explaining the benefits and hazards of Ferrari’s upgrade for Spa
New details have emerged about Ferrari’s upcoming rear suspension upgrade set to be introduced at the F1 Belgian Grand Prix.
The SF-25 will feature a significant revision aimed at turning around Ferrari’s disappointing start to the 2025 season.
Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc tested the new rear suspension package for the first time at Mugello during a filming day.
The visual change to the upper wishbone of the car is designed to increase stability and resistance to pitch changes while braking or accelerating.
This update is intended to allow Ferrari to run the car at a lower ride height for increased downforce and flexibility in setup adjustments.
However, concerns have been raised about potential negative effects, such as a “numb” feeling for the driver and excessive wear on the underbody plank affecting legality.
Ferrari’s season has been challenging, with no wins yet in 2025, and the team is aiming to improve performance and achieve better results with the upcoming upgrade at the Belgian Grand Prix.
