Ferrari has had a strong start to the season with two wins in the first eight races, currently sitting in second place in the Constructors’ standings. The team introduced significant upgrades at Imola in an effort to keep up with Red Bull and McLaren in the development race, which helped Charles Leclerc secure a victory in Monaco. However, Ferrari’s team boss, Frederic Vasseur, noted that it’s becoming harder to make substantial gains due to the current regulations and cost cap in Formula 1. Despite this, work is already underway on the 2025 and 2026 car and power unit, with potential changes to the front suspension being considered for 2025 to gain an aero advantage. Ferrari may need to make bold changes that could necessitate a complete chassis overhaul, impacting the car’s front-end airflow and venturi tunnels. Ferrari is exploring options to optimize performance within the constraints of the regulations, aiming to stay competitive as the season progresses and beyond.
