Ferrari predict upcoming rule change could be a “gamechanger” in F1 2025.
Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur believes the upcoming flexi-wing clampdown in the 2025 F1 season could be a game-changer for the competitive order. Teams will face stricter flexibility tests for front wings starting at the Spanish Grand Prix on June 1 due to a new technical directive from the FIA aimed at preventing rule circumvention. Vasseur hopes this mid-season rule change will help Ferrari improve their performance, though it may not heavily impact the title fight. Despite Lewis Hamilton’s struggles adjusting to Ferrari’s SF-25, Vasseur remains confident in the team’s potential and their collaboration with the seven-time world champion. The recent radio debate in Miami between Hamilton and the pit wall over team orders was downplayed by Vasseur, highlighting the importance of constructive communication and continued improvement within the team.
