Ferrari's Crisis Deepens
Ferrari are facing a crisis in 2025, struggling to find top performance with their SF-25 car, leading to discontent among various departments.
In 2024, Fred Vasseur's team narrowly missed winning the constructors' championship, losing to McLaren by 14 points. However, in 2025, Ferrari have fallen significantly behind their rivals, including McLaren, Mercedes, and Red Bull, who have all introduced successful upgrades to their cars.
Ferrari's focus on introducing a new rear suspension has not yielded the desired results, with Charles Leclerc describing the team as the fourth-best. Leclerc has scored all five of the team's podiums in 2025, while Lewis Hamilton is at risk of going podiumless for the first time in his F1 career.
Ferrari's winless streak in 2025 has led to rising tensions behind the scenes, with various departments feeling the pressure.
