Ferrari duo Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were coy on the effects its rear suspension upgrade will bring at this weekend’s F1 Belgian GP
Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton were cautious about discussing the potential impact of Ferrari’s rear suspension upgrade at the upcoming Formula 1 Belgian Grand Prix. Ferrari is introducing its largest upgrade yet on the SF-25 for this race, following a brief test at Mugello last week. The new suspension is expected to be stiffer, offering more setup options than before, as running the car on lower ride heights caused excessive plank wear. Hamilton hinted at the need for further testing and adjustments to extract performance from the upgrade, emphasizing the ongoing development work within the team. Leclerc echoed the sentiment, expressing hope for a performance boost but acknowledging the limited time available to fully explore the upgrade due to the Sprint Race format at Spa-Francorchamps. Ferrari will be seeking increased competitiveness with these upgrades, aiming for a significant step forward in their performance.
