The Maranello based outfit look to take the 2025 Formula 1 Championship by storm, with a new driver lineup, new car and a touch of new paint.
It’s fair to say that Scuderia Ferrari had a reasonably successful 2024 season, finishing second in the Constructors Championship standings, behind none other than McLaren, who were the team to beat for the latter half of the season.
Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc clinched his first win on home soil at Monte Carlo, also delivering a fantastic victory at Monza in front of Tifosi fans. Carlos Sainz, in his final season at the Scuderia, managed some very respectable results across the board. A solid end to his tenure, one that the Spaniard is sure to be happy with.
2025 brings perhaps the biggest changes to the team, arguably bigger than any other team on the grid. Lewis Hamilton, the 40 year old, seven time World Champion has finally shifted allegiances, who is set to drive his number 44 car alongside Leclerc for the 2025 season.
With the lineup now completed, Ferrari have revealed their latest title contender, the SF-25 car. The sleek design, complete with the darker shade of red that we rarely see, comes with a whole host of improvements upon last year’s model, that the Scuderia are sure to be hopeful about.
“The launch of this new car is a very exciting and proud moment for everyone in the team,” Team Principal Frederic Vasseur said.
“Months of hard work have gone into this SF-25 thanks to the dedicated efforts of everyone in the team at Maranello,” Vasseur added. “We are excited to see the fruits of our labours take shape and prepare to take to the track”.
Leclerc also echoed his team principals sentiments, with a focus on determination and readiness to combat the upcoming season.
“I am physically and mentally more than ready to face this new season”, Leclerc said. “I can’t wait to get on track to everything I can to put Scuderia Ferrari HP back on top.”
Leclerc’s new teammate, seven time champion Hamilton, had this to say on his maiden season at Ferrari: “My first few weeks at Ferrari have been absolutely incredible and I’ve seen first hand the passion and dedication of the entire team.”
“I cant wait to get out on track with Charles, push each other forward and do everything we can to take the team to the top,” Hamilton concluded.
Ferrari are looking at going one up on last seasons finish, as they are prepared to go all the way to ensure that they can bring the 2025 Constructors Championship back to Maranello. Can the crimson clad team end the trophy drought? Only time can truly tell.
Scuderia Ferrari HP look to kickstart their 2025 season in the perfect way, with the Australian Grand Prix underway on March 16.
