    “When he arrived, the SF-25 was already defined.” Vasseur defends Ferrari F1 technical director

    Ferrari F1 Team Principal Defends Technical Leadership Amid SF-25 Concerns

    Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur has faced tough questions about the team’s performance ahead of the 2025 Imola GP, acknowledging mistakes made with the SF-25 but emphasizing a belief in the ongoing engineering setup. “When he arrived, the SF-25 was already defined,” Vasseur asserted while defending Loic Serra, the technical director who joined from Mercedes last October.

    Analysis of Ferrari’s Current Challenges

    Ferrari’s performance this season has raised eyebrows, particularly as they sit fourth in the constructors’ standings, trailing leader Mclaren by a daunting 152 points. This dismal showing has reignited intense scrutiny of the SF-25 and its development process, prompting discussions of accountability within the technical staff.

    Vasseur’s Confidence in the Technical Team

    Vasseur clarified the transition in leadership, noting that when Serra joined the team, “the current car was already, let’s say, 90 percent defined.” He specified that key decisions on elements such as weight distribution and wheelbase had already been established under previous technical director Enrico Cardile, who is now on gardening leave.

    “This is something that affects all teams when there’s a change in technical leadership,” Vasseur explained.

    Despite the shadow of uncertainty, Vasseur emphasized that about 95% of the technical team remains unchanged and that their dedication to continuous improvement is unwavering.

    Building for the Future: SF-25 Versus 2026 Project

    The debate over whether to prioritize the current SF-25 or shift attention to the 2026 project remains contentious. Vasseur dismissed speculation about abandoning development for this season, asserting that the team still has untapped potential in the SF-25.

    “We often end race weekends with the feeling that we haven’t extracted the maximum from the car,” he noted, expressing optimism about ongoing developments and upcoming updates scheduled for the Spanish Grand Prix.

    Conclusion

    As Ferrari grapples with performance issues and the strategic management of their engineering staff, Vasseur’s reassurances may offer a flicker of hope amid growing pressure. The challenge persists, but with a committed team and a focus on improvement, Ferrari’s journey toward reclaiming its status as a Formula 1 powerhouse is far from over.
