Ferrari F1 Filming Day in Mugelo provides rear suspension test opportunity

Ferrari Formula 1 Squad is using a allotted Filming Day in Mugelo on Wednesday where both Lewis Hamilton And Charles Lakeler The revised SF-25 will run.

There will be a new rear suspension for 200 km, which has been allocated for a commercial shoot to run the team, as Ferrari finds out if it can look forward to the second half of the season with more positivity.

It follows the floor upgrade, which performed better in both the red bull ring and silverstone, with the focus now set to shift to the rules of 2026, which will be seen with quick, short, narrow and light cars with regulation changes.

The test in Mugelo is prescribed before all materials for the Grand Prix of Belgium, which should be sent to the spa-francarchamps and will allow the data for the new-look suspension before the 13th round of the 2025 campaign on 25–27 July.

It was not possible to send SF -25 to dynamic testing until a new rear suspension was created, even though it was already a careful evaluation with CFD. This challenge was reducing the wisbone in front of the upper Vishbone, looking for a point of attachment for gearbox that could face the load.

The outer covering of the transmission is made of overall materials to protect the weight and the most short size is designed with at least thickness and ribs, while suspension weapons are anchored, attachments have been prepared that can withstand stresses generated by a tie rod suspension.

The simulation results were positive, but Ferrari would be hoping that Wednesday’s filming activity would confirm the same signals on the track, combining the numbers with the feedback of the drivers. The new suspension should be less sensitive to SF -25 to ride height, opening a useful set -up option to improve the operating window of pyrely tires.

A joint action of the floor and suspension may be worth about a tenth of a second and, if the data collected so far is confirmed, McLaren Running out of the front, 238 points clear of skaderia.

Ferrari, so far, has never been in a position to take advantage of opportunities as it has never been a closest following MCL39S. With Nico Hulkenburg’s podium Save Silverstone proves that Hamilton is unable to pursue German, his Ferrari had severe set-up difficulties on a moist silverstone track.

Both Hamilton and Lakeler have talked about the upgrade, but now it will stop talking and running in Mugelo will have to decide if they can aspire for at least one win this season, something that McLaren, Red Bull and Mercedes Everyone has achieved this level.
