The most fundamental problem with Ferrari’s 2025 F1 car has been pinpointed.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc have predominantly been uncompetitive with the McLarens and Red𒀰 Bull’s Max Verstappen this year.

Despite a series of floor upgrades a we🐠ek ago in Bahra♛in, and further updates to their rear wing in Saudi Arabia, their woes haven’t yet been solved.

Leclerc qualified fourth for the F1 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Hamilton seventh.

Sky Sports’ Bernie Collins analysed Hamilไton’s deficit to Leclerc in his quali runs:♎ “It’s just little bits throughout the lap.

“Every line 📖wasn’t𒆙 as tight to the wall, wasn’t as close to the apex.

“He 🎶wasn’t using as much of the track as Charles was. That’s the ಞdeficit between the two.”

Jamie Chadwick noticed an even more importan𓂃t flaw with the SF-25.

“Their biggest issue is that they struggl꧙e with general grip,” she said.

“He c🅷an shift the balance forwards and rearwards, and make the car fee♋l different things.

“But you’re basically d𓆉riving a car with less grip than the other guys. In that case, they will never be able to extract the most performanc⭕e out of it.

“Between the two, but par💙ticularly on Lewis’ side, they are chasing their tails.

“They aren’t finding themselves heading in a directio෴n that they need to.”

'Missed opportunity' for Ferrari in Saudi Arabia?

Hamilton has delivered a series of downbeat i🌼nterviews after drab F1 sessions in recent 🍎weeks, since his sprint race win in China.

In Saudi Arabia after salvaging P7 in qualifying, he admitted he 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:hadꦆn’t yet bonded w༒ith his new car.

Leclerc, despite trailing only Max💯 Verstappen, Oscar Piastri and George Russell, was also disappointed.

Leclerc insisted he h🌄ad extracted everything possible from himself and his c♋ar yet was still only P4.

“Maybe they think it’s a missed opportunℱity, and there was one more position to b💦e gained,” Collins said.

Chadwick added:💞 “He is generally very fast at thes💮e tracks, maybe that’s why he’s disappointed.

“But💙 look at the deficit to the top three - it’s a couple of tenths. If he doesn’t feel like he’s got that in the car, it will be difficult.”

Last week in Bahrain, fourth and fifth for the Ferrari drivers was a best result of🧜 the season.

However, ဣit also shone a spotlight on how far beneath pre-season expectation the team is performing.

Mar🅠tin Brundle shared his own theory about setup chꦆoices causing Hamilton’s travails in the Ferrari.
