The wait is over. Legendary Formula 1 team Ferrari has finally lifted the lid over its new car for the upcoming season during an event at London’s The O2 on Tuesday. The title challenger presented its 2025 F1 car – the SF-25 – during F1 75 Live launch event.
The fresh livery’s “distinctive feature” is a white band that stands out.
“The darker shade of 2025 Racing Red with its matte finish, evokes decades of racing, taking its inspiration from the intense tones of the early days of the Scuderia, with an angled, bold white band standing out as a distinctive feature on the car, symbolising dynamism and a vision that looks to the future,” Ferrari said in a statement on their website.
Ferrari also presented its drivers for the new season.
Seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton left Mercedes after 12 seasons to join the Italian outfit and will team up with Charles Leclerc eyeing a record eighth title.
“The word I am thinking of is invigorated because I feel so full of life and so much energy because everything is new and I’m just focused on what is up ahead,” Hamilton said on Tuesday.
“I’m so proud to be part of the team, something new and exciting for me,” he added.
Loic Serra, Ferrari’s Technical Director Chassis says they have changed 99 per cent of the car and expects the team to be competitive from the season opening race in Melbourne next month.
“The SF-25 is an evolution of the SF-24, which gave us an excellent starting point to work from,” Serra said in a statement. “Having said that, we have worked hard, changing 99% of the car, evolving its architecture to maximise performance. The pull rod front suspension is only the most obvious of many significant changes. We can expect the coming season to be very closely contested, with outcomes decided by thousandths of a second. We are all set to give it our best shot to find those gains, even the marginal ones, that can make the difference. We are looking forward to being competitive right from the very first race.”
