Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur expressed “great confidence” in the team, despite acknowledging “mistakes” with the 2025 Formula 1 car. Expectations of immediate championship contention for Ferrari have not materialized, with a challenging start to the 2025 season. The revamped SF-25 car has faced unexpected issues, resulting in only one podium finish in the first six races. Ferrari, after a late-season resurgence in the previous year, now trails three spots and 152 points behind reigning champions McLaren. Vasseur admitted to design flaws in the SF-25 but remains optimistic about the team’s ability to improve and address challenges. Technical Director Loic Serra had limited involvement in the core design decisions for the SF-25, according to Vasseur. Despite Ferrari’s ongoing title drought since 2008, Vasseur emphasized their commitment to continuing development for the 2025 season, refusing to shift focus to 2026 prematurely.
