So many problems for Ferrari in F1: the SF-25 is waiting for updates and Matteo Bobbi confirms concerns about Maranello’s short blanket, while awaiting the “reset” in Barcelona. The Sky Sport expert reiterates the issue tied to the aerodynamic map of the new car, as interesting details emerge regarding the rear suspension: Loic Serra, as previously anticipated, is working at the factory.This Ferrari is too bad to be true. Yet, after the sixth round of the championship, the nightmare feels more real than ever. The gap to McLaren is 152 points—an abyss between the two teams that, just six months ago, were fighting for the Constructors’ title in Abu Dhabi. Something went wrong deep within Maranello. The time for statements is over; now it’s time to act.
Is the SF-25 a “wrong” car or simply “stuck”? The answer to this question will define Ferrari’s 2025 campaign. All eyes are on the upcoming European triple-header: Imola, Monaco, and Barcelona—three races that will decisively shape the season. In Spain, with the long-awaited directive on flexible wings coming into effect, lies the last chance for a reset that could kill off the MCL39.
Bobbi and the “aerodynamic map” of the Ferrari SF-25
He had said it weeks ago: it’s a matter of “aerodynamic map.” Matteo Bobbi, in a video on his YouTube channel, confirmed what he believes is the SF-25’s problem: “For Ferrari [Miami] was a total disaster, no need to sugarcoat it. They were never in the game, struggling in every possible way.”“In qualifying, most of the gap came in the slower, more technical sector, where perhaps mechanical grip matters most. Honestly though, the short blanket also applies to the aerodynamic side. I’ll repeat what we’ve already said on TV: the SF-25 has a very, very small operating window and aerodynamic map. It needs to be drastically widened to make the car work in more conditions.”
Updates and the “reset” hypothesis in Barcelona: what we know
The Sky Sport Tech Room expert anticipates what Ferrari will need to regain performance: “They need a major update—a completely revised floor. It might arrive in Barcelona, though some changes are already expected at Imola. But the substantial package will come in Spain, and that will be the real fix to the problems seen at the start of the year. However, the situation is very tough.”
“Mercedes, Ferrari, and Red Bull all believe that everything will change in Barcelona with the technical directive. I find it hard to believe that a car winning by 35 seconds will change that much due to a rule change like this. Mercedes even say it will change the world. We’ll see.”
