Overview

  • The team faces scrutiny over its 2025 car concept, particularly the controversial switch to a pull rod rear suspension, which has led to rear instability and oversteer issues.
  • Major upgrade packages are being introduced at Imola, with Ferrari aiming to address performance deficits ahead of the 2026 regulation changes.
  • Team principal Fred Vasseur must weigh whether to persist with developing the current car or shift focus to next year’s regulations if results do not improve soon.
  • Despite recent struggles, Ferrari’s passionate tifosi are expected to show unwavering support at their home race, hoping for a turnaround on familiar ground.
