Ferrari are preparing a vital upgrade which could transform their 2025 F1 season.
Ferrari will test a new rear suspension upgrade at Mugello during a filming day to address ride-height issues and boost driver confidence before the Belgian Grand Prix.
The team aims to solve the SF-25’s biggest weakness with the debut of the rear suspension design, which early simulations suggest could improve lap times by about a tenth of a second.
The upcoming upgrade is seen as crucial for Ferrari, who have struggled in the 2025 season but showed promise with recent performance boosts at the Austrian and British Grands Prix.
The filming day will allow Hamilton and Leclerc to provide feedback on the upgrade’s real-world performance, with hopes of enhancing the car’s overall competitiveness.
Despite their winless streak in the first half of the season, Ferrari remains optimistic about a stronger second half with focused development on the SF-25 and a final upgrade planned for Spa.
While currently trailing McLaren by 238 points, Ferrari sits in second place in the constructors’ championship with a 12-point lead over Mercedes going into the latter part of the year.
