Simply someday till the automobiles will hit the observe and start preparations for the Miami Grand Prix, a technical F1 state of affairs the place Ferrari will attempt to give its finest. It should achieve this whereas nonetheless coping with the same old issues that, sadly, will persist till the SF-25 automobile is corrected with updates. The primary aerodynamic improve bundle is anticipated, that is true. Within the meantime, nonetheless, Florida arrives, the place placing collectively a superb efficiency is obligatory to as soon as once more restrict the injury towards McLaren, Mercedes and Pink Bull.
The standard ineffective press launch
Ferrari workforce principal Frederic Vasseur appeared pretty calm within the standard press launch that precedes the races. Few phrases, the place the weird livery of the Italian automobile can be commented on. A transfer that stems from the partnership with Hewlett-Packard, the primary sponsor of the historic Italian workforce, which we are going to talk about later. As for the remaining, the at all times cheerful Fred Vasseur, in mentioning the anniversary of the HP collaboration, additionally had a feedback phrases concerning the observe.
The French supervisor thus spoke concerning the needed preparation, tied to the effectivity of the working group, which is able to should be at its most given the second race weekend of the 2025 System 1 season with the dash format. It’s about persevering with on the trail of progress began on the Bahrain Worldwide Circuit, the place some encouraging indicators had been seen. The standard boilerplate statements that imply all the pieces or nothing. At this level, nonetheless, there may be an fascinating subject to judge.
GP Miami 2025, Ferrari’s targets
Ferrari has labored lots on the simulator over the previous week. It did so to search out the best setup for the Miami Grand Prix. As we all know, the perfect working window is brief and, contemplating the present technical degree of the Italian automobile, optimizing all of the various kinds of corners in a structure proves to be fairly a troublesome job. There’s nothing new to say, sadly, when these are the traits of a automobile.
Nonetheless, the hope of doing nicely stays. There are circuits the place the SF-25 can carry out higher, and Miami may be one in all them in comparison with others. Considering of stepping into the battle on the high is sadly not doable. Difficult the spectacular McLaren MCL39 automobiles is an unrealistic purpose. One of the best outcome that may be hoped for is a podium, particularly, solely third place, for the reason that high two steps will probably be monopolized by the MCL39 automobiles in the event that they don’t make errors.
Then there may be the matter of the Dash Race. A weekend, due to this fact, the place getting the automobile’s setup proper on Friday can supply a major benefit.

If they fight, the automobile scrapes the ground and the plank wears down an excessive amount of. A scenario that, certainly, occurred at Suzuka. With that in thoughts, may the pink workforce run decrease within the first qualifying and subsequent 100 kilometer dash race? Extra particularly for the Ferrari engineers and technicians to decrease the automobile to go quicker.
The aerodynamic load could be increased and would enable the Italian automobile to extend its minimal speeds by medium-fast corners. Would doing it make sense? It could imply disputing the primary a part of the Miami weekend extracting extra efficiency, solely to then be pressured to return, increase the automobile, and consequently go slower. By way of outcomes and factors, it would even work as an idea.
Even when it could imply elevating fan expectations solely to be confronted with the tough actuality between Saturday and Sunday. It stays to be seen how Ferrari intends to method this weekend on a technical degree, recalling Frederic Vasseur’s phrases after China. The Frenchman didn’t rule out that Ferrari would possibly take dangers once more on the subject of trip heights. Pushing the bounds. The American setting could possibly be a kind of occasions.
