Respected Italian journalist Leo Turrini says rumours that Ferrari has a “second or so” in the simulator with the 2025 car, the SF-25, is “nonsense”.
Ferrari! Ferrari! Ferrari! They are the media launched before the F1 2025 championship, because the Italian team welcomes the new firm and the F1 world champion Lewis Hamilton.
It’s the title, success story or box of the new season as the Briton looks to reduce his connection to Ferrari legend Michael Schumacher as he chases a record-breaking global title.
That he could do it with Ferrari, well that’s headline, blockbuster, or, as Christian Horner put it, “box office”.
Hamilton, having won six of his seven global titles with Mercedes, moved away from the silver arrows last season to fulfill the dream of “childhood” of competing in red.

Its first two weeks, iconic photographs coming out of the red space of Enzo Ferrari on his first laps in a Ferrari Formula 1 car in his first crash in that same car, ruled the news cycle.
And with him, the reports arrived, the maximum not confirmed, because Ferrari does not reveal much to the media, in the 2025 car of the team, the SF-25.
Taking the “one percent” of the SF-24, which arrived here from the director of the Fred Vasseur team, the 2025 car would have a front-wheel drive suspension, while the cabin also moved to the rear.
Better still, simulator testing says the car, which will be on track on February 19, is faster than its predecessor. Much faster. A moment faster.
But as respected Italian journalist Turrini asks, quicker than what?
“The winter era never turns out and the fatal area balls are beginning to circulate,” he wrote in his blog. “These are the whispers of the sensational innovations of the Maranello simulator.
But for the love of God! Among things, such “rumors” make sense.
“Let me explain.
“Let’s say that in the simulator, Ferrari won around a second. However, who?
“No one knows anything about Mercedes, McLaren, the data of Red Bull, etc. , with the exception of other people involved. That does not flee. ” “
But as rumours make the rounds forward of Hamilton’s first crusade in red, Turrini insists on one thing he knows for sure.
“I upload one thing I know,” he said.
“As Hamilton is a serious person, he is careful in his conversations with engineers. Sently very cautious about what happened.
“The fact that those days in Barcelona they are working, with the Leclerc, on the temperature of the tyres and on the starting procedures is a sign.
