Today at 03:15 AM
With the arrival of the 2025 Formula 1 season, Ferrari is preparing to make a significant breakthrough in tire management, a factor that could prove decisive for the upcoming world championship. The new Maranello car could be crucial for the ambitions of Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc to claim the world title.
Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, announced his move to Ferrari from Mercedes nearly a year ago. The British driver will partner with Charles Leclerc, who is considered one of the most talented drivers on the grid. Together, they represent one of the most promising duos for the next championship.
In 2024, Ferrari demonstrated competitiveness, finishing the season just 14 points behind the constructors' world champions, McLaren. The Monegasque driver showcased his skills with three victories, while his teammate Carlos Sainz secured two. This solidity undoubtedly places Ferrari in a strong position for the upcoming season.
Technological innovations and collaboration with Pirelli: the real game-changer for Ferrari?
Under the leadership of team principal Fred Vasseur, the Ferrari 677 will be "completely new" for the 2025 F1 season. Tire management proved to be one of the keys to the SF-24's success, particularly during the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, where Leclerc employed an alternative winning strategy against McLaren's drivers.
Moreover, Lewis Hamilton is renowned for his tire management skills, a capability that has contributed to many of his 105 career victories. His expertise will join forces with Charles Leclerc's, and tire management could be a decisive factor.
Ferrari has also worked closely with Pirelli in developing the 2025 tires, an element that could be pivotal in the title fight. A team's ability to manage tires can greatly impact on-track performance, and the Maranello team seems well-prepared to tackle this challenge.
