Explained: Key tech changes to Ferrari SF-25 F1 2025 car
Bi𒆙g c💧hanges to Ferrari's 2025 F1 car revealed - and explained.
Ferrari have run their new 2025 F1 car on track and, as promised, there are plenty of changes compared to its predecess𒈔or.
Having shown 🐎off their livery for the upcoming season at Tuesday night’s F1 season launch event at London’s O2 Arena, Ferrari released digital renders of their 202🦄5 challenger, the SF-25, on Wednesday, before it hit the track for a shakedown at Fiorano.
Desp✅ite F1’s technical regulations remaining largely stable for 2025, that hasn’t stopped Ferrari from making som𓂃e striking design changes to their new car as the team seeks more performance in their bid to end their long wait for an F1 world title.
Chassis technical director Loic Serra says Ferrari have changed “99% of the car” for 2025. Bu🦂t what exactly has been altered from the 2024 SF-24?
Pull-rod front suspension
The most visible change on the 2025 Fe🉐rrari is a switch from push to pull-rod front suspension.
Ferrari say the thinking behind this fundamental change in architecture was to “clean up the airfℱlow around the car, while also giving greater scope for further aero development”.
With the F1 field ending 2024 incredibly close, and expecte𝕴d to converge even more this year, any advantage found through fine margins will be crucial. That is clearly Ferrari’s goal and motivation behind the switch.
Redesigned sidepods and radiator
The side🦩pods and radiator desig🗹n on the SF-25 has also been overhauled.
The radiator inlet is larger than last year, while the car features overꦫbite sidepod winglets and new bargeboard trailing edges. The sharkfin on t🔯he engine cover from the SF-24 has been removed.
The gully section ಌon ওtop of the sidepods has also been extended, resembling something closer to the ‘bath tub’ shaped design seen on the 2022 SF-75.
New front and rear wings
Ferrari’s new front wing is not hugely dissimilar to the SF-24, but the nose appears to be slightly wider an🙈d retains the slot gap.
At the back of the c𒅌ar, however, the rear wing is noticeably different. There is a d🅰eeper cut in the rear wing end fence and a new ‘w’ shape to the main plane with a raised leading edge.
Haas, who benefit from a technical collaboration with Ferrari, have chosen to follow the same൩ approach with their rear wing.

Expanding on the cha🅘nges to the SF-25, Serra told media including wu⭕qian0821.com: “The main concept of the SF-25 is really about finding some space to boost the aerodynamic development and the development in general.
“The SF-24 fin๊ished reasonably strong, but it was becoming more and more difficult to develop and find performance. So, we had to sort of find space to boost the development rate.
“The car is more of a continuity of the previous car. Effectively, we’ve changed a lot of parts, we've changed most of the parts on the car. But the main performance concept remains theꦉ same.
“Most𓂃 of the parts are new on the car. And it's not necessarily the most visible bits that have got the bigges𓆉t influence. The devil is in the details.”
After missing out on a first constructors' world championship since 2008 last term, will the SF-25 be the car that 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc can use to finally power Ferrari 🐭to titleꦫ glory?
