Lewis Hamilton has called for immediate upgrades to Ferrari’s SF-25 after a challenging performance at the Canadian Grand Prix, where he finished in sixth place following a collision that caused damage to his car. The British driver’s pressing request for improvements has prompted a swift response from Ferrari, who confirmed plans to introduce enhancements ahead of the Silverstone Grand Prix in July.
Fred Vasseur, Ferrari’s team principal, addressed the situation by assuring fans and the team that upgrades are imminent while urging a strong focus on extracting maximum performance from the current car setup. This balanced approach aims to improve the team’s results as the season approaches a crucial midpoint.
Strategic Emphasis on Execution Over Potential
Vasseur emphasized that while new components are on their way, the team’s success will depend heavily on how well they implement these changes. He explained,
“We will have an upgrade soon, before the UK and perhaps another one a bit later… It is much more about the execution and what you are getting from the car than the potential of the car itself.”

This insight underlines Ferrari’s belief that fine-tuning and precision in applying upgrades will have a more immediate impact than theoretical performance gains. As Formula 1 nears the conclusion of the current technical regulations, the importance of detailed setup work and flawless execution becomes increasingly critical for competitive advantage.
Building Momentum Ahead of Silverstone Showdown
With the Silverstone Grand Prix fast approaching, anticipation is high within the F1 community for how these upgrades will influence Ferrari’s competitiveness on track. The team’s efforts to balance the introduction of new parts with optimal car setup promise to play a vital role in shaping their fortunes over the next races.
As Hamilton and his Ferrari team prepare for this pivotal round, all eyes remain fixed on their ability to respond to the evolving challenges of the championship and close the gap with their rivals.
