Gary Anderson takes a look at the new 2025 Ferrari F1 car – one featuring mostly subtle differences from its predecessor despite the team’s claim 99% of it has been changed
The new Ferrari Formula 1 car has been unveiled on the track at Fiorano, aligning closely with the previously released renders of the SF-25, although the upcoming debut in Bahrain for pre-season testing may bring some surprises. Ferrari’s chassis technical director, Loic Serra, emphasizes the significant changes for 2025, notably the switch to pullrod front suspension for improved aerodynamics and further aero development potential. Serra indicates that nearly the entire car has been overhauled, with adjustments like lengthening the wheelbase to optimize airflow control and minimize negative effects on the underfloor. Ferrari’s choice of pullrod front suspension differs from customer team Haas and integrates features like the front trackrod for enhanced aerodynamic performance and development capabilities. The radiator inlet area has been expanded for better cooling efficiency in anticipation of a competitive season, reflecting Ferrari’s attention to detail and aerodynamic refinement for the upcoming challenges on the track.
