It’s now a proven fact that the SF-25 venture has failed to fulfill the big expectations positioned on it, amplified additional by the arrival of none apart from Lewis Hamilton at Maranello. The Tifosi are dissatisfied, and even the Ferrari staff members – beginning with the drivers – are removed from happy with how issues have unfolded on this first quarter of the championship, with over 140 factors to recuperate on McLaren.
At Imola, Frédéric Vasseur took duty for this traumatic begin, strongly defending these concerned within the delicate phases of design in Maranello. All this whereas preserving in thoughts that the work on the SF-25 was largely carried out beneath the steering of the earlier technical director Enrico Cardile, who remained within the function till his resignation on July 8 earlier than shifting to Aston Martin.
The brand new technical director, Loïc Serra, solely took over in October 2024: “At that time we didn’t actually give attention to percentages, however 90% of the work on the SF-25 was already accomplished,” stated Fred Vasseur. “I don’t know if it was 80% or 95%, but it surely was most likely over 90%. When Enrico (Cardile) left the staff, we have been nonetheless slightly below that share.” – the French supervisor identified.
“Generally, although, I don’t wish to give percentages as a result of it could be a deceptive interpretation. It’s unimaginable to say ‘we’ve mounted X% of the automobile’; step one is to fine-tune the elemental foundations of the venture: the structure, the wheel placement, the overall idea. Solely after that do you progress on to the main points. You don’t work beginning, for instance, from the entrance wing and proceed with mounted percentages. And sometimes the issues lie exactly within the particulars,” Fred Vasseur concluded.
