Ferrari's 2025 car will keep 'less than 1%' of SF-24 parts"
Ferrari's Frederic Vasseur said the 2025 car will have less than 1% of the parts from the SF-24. In 2024, Ferrari won five races but still lost the Constructors' Championship to McLaren after struggling with updates mid-season. They improved later, scoring the most points in the final races, but Vasseur said they still need to get better. Lewis Hamilton is joining the team but will have little time to get used to the car before the season starts.

Hamilton's Ferrari debut could be delayed
Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari debut for the F1 2025 season may be delayed or moved from Fiorano if adverse weather conditions disrupt testing. His first on-track experience with Ferrari could take place in either Mugello or Imola instead of Fiorano, with the potential for further delays. Hamilton has already visited their Maranello factory despite being under contract with Mercedes until the end of the year. Ferrari's 2025 car, Project 677, will feature significant design changes influenced by Hamilton's driving style, including a pullrod front suspension, which is expected to improve airflow and downforce.
