Ferrari have revealed that they have put significant work and time into improving their one-lap pace, which could be a welcome boost for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton in 2025.

Ferrari’s main weakness 𒆙in 2024 was their qualifying performance as unlike in recent years, their car fared better in race trim.

2024 was the first 🤪year si🦹nce 2017 when they had more race wins than pole positions, backing up this theory. 

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc, widely regarded as the fastest driver in F1 qualifying, had a𝔍 worse average qualifying position than Mercedes’ George Russell, highlighting the difficulties Ferrari had on a Saturday.

Hamilton also struggled f♑or one-lap pace in 2024, out-qualifying Russell at Mercedes on five occasions across the 24-race season.

Ferrari’s technical director (chassis), Loic Serra, has admitted that “a lot of work” has gone into improving ℱtheir qualifying performance.

“I think the long-run strength of the car, you want to retain and you wan🐻t to improve,” Serra explained to media, including .

“And it is true that if you can get a bit more of the first lap performance, you’ll take it, especially where 30 milliseconds is more or less one position. That 30 milliseconds is not much when🍬 you think about the tyres on one lap, it can give you way more than that.

“So, there’s a lot of work that is goiꦜng into that and hopefully it will help, but that’s a relative gain. It will also depend on what the other teams do.”
