The highly-anticipated new Ferrari suspension is set to make its debut, but not before the Spa Grand Prix, according to expert Carlo Vanzini. The Italian journalist has raised doubts about the timing of the major SF-25 update that has been in the works at Ferrari headquarters.
Rumors about the rear suspension have been swirling since May, with reports indicating that the Italian team has been working on a solution to the issues plaguing the SF-25 in the current season. Recent updates suggested that the suspension revision had passed dynamic bench testing and was awaiting final approval in the wind tunnel. Originally planned for the British Grand Prix in early July, it seems the timeline for the new suspension’s introduction may need to be adjusted.
Carlo Vanzini, known for his insights on Sky Sport, hinted in a YouTube video that the upgraded suspension might not be seen until the Belgian Grand Prix at Spa-Francorchamps on July 27. Vanzini explained, “This potential platform lacks it, and for this reason, it was decided to modify the rear suspension. This modification also includes a floor, but the suspension upgrade will likely not arrive before Belgium. It was supposed to be ready for Silverstone, but I don’t think it will make it. The floor, on the other hand, will debut in Austria and will work with this package, which will be completed later on. Technically, the suspension was supposed to come first, followed by the floor. However, production timelines are pushing for the current plan.”
Ferrari fans and Formula 1 enthusiasts will have to wait a bit longer to see the new and improved SF-25 in action, as the team fine-tunes their upgrades for optimal performance. Stay tuned for more updates as the Scuderia Ferrari works to regain their competitive edge on the track.
