Overview

• New analyses detail how a three‑month push to rework the rear suspension under Loïc Serra stalled planned aerodynamic development and narrowed the car’s operating window.
• Reporting says the SF‑25 performs well only when simulator assumptions match track grip and temperatures, with setup changes yielding little when conditions shift.
• At least two modest aero upgrades were reportedly delayed during the suspension program, an opportunity cost rivals did not pay as Red Bull, McLaren and Mercedes found on‑track gains.
• Form‑guide metrics underscore the slide: across the last four races Ferrari scored 40 points versus 96 for Red Bull, 91 for McLaren and 89 for Mercedes, and the team has not reached the podium since Hungary.
• Public frustrations have grown, with Frédéric Vasseur conceding execution failures after Singapore and Charles Leclerc saying Ferrari lacks the car to fight the frontrunners.
