Ferrari has already begun development of its 2025 car after the successful creation of the SF-24 chassis. Despite Red Bull’s dominance, the Italian constructor won two out of eight races in the 2024 season. As a result, Ferrari plans to incorporate the lessons learned from the SF-24 into their next challenger. The team boss confirmed that work on the 2025 car has already begun.
During the 2024 season, Ferrari made several upgrades to their chassis, which proved beneficial as they emerged victorious in the Monaco GP. The team split their efforts between improving the SF-24 and developing the next chassis. The team boss gave approval for the development of the 2025 car.
Ferrari’s strong performance in the 2024 season provides a solid foundation for the next season. Under the leadership of Fred Vasseur, the team has shown impressive results and is closing in on Red Bull. Vasseur credited the team’s hard work over the past six months for the improved performance.
With the momentum gained in 2024, Ferrari will continue to prioritize the development of their chassis. After coming close to winning the championship, the Italian constructor will work on multiple chassis simultaneously to maximize their potential. Vasseur revealed that the team has already set goals for the 2026 regulatory changes.
Ferrari has already started work on the power unit for the 2026 season, anticipating the regulatory changes. These changes could significantly alter the team hierarchy in Formula 1. However, Ferrari will need to speculate on certain concepts until the full set of regulations is released. The regulatory changes present an excellent opportunity for the team to achieve success.
Based on its current form, Ferrari has a strong chance of surpassing Red Bull throughout the season. If Red Bull does not introduce significant updates during the season, Ferrari is poised for a successful campaign. The Italian team aims to reduce the gap to rival teams and establish a considerable advantage over McLaren.
