The Ferrari SF-25 ^[2] is a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by Scuderia Ferrari which is competing in the 2025 Formula One World Championship. ^[3] It is being driven by Charles Leclerc and seven-time World Drivers' Champion Lewis Hamilton, the latter in his first season racing for Ferrari. It has scored five podiums and one pole position.

Background

Livery

Main article: Formula One sponsorship liveries § Ferrari

The car's race livery was shown for the first time at the F1 75 Live event by Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc, and team principal Frédéric Vasseur. This livery featured a darker shade of red and a large, white stripe on the engine cover over the HP logo. For the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, the Peroni logo was replaced with "ITALIA 0.0" due to regulations regarding alcohol sponsorship in the country.

A special livery was debuted for the Miami Grand Prix, which featured an emphasis on the HP branding akin to the previous year's livery. ^[4] In Monaco, the Shell 75 logo appeared on the sidepods, marking 75 years of technical partnership. ^[5] For the Italian Grand Prix, Ferrari unveiled a special livery that pays tribute to the Ferrari 312T, the car in which three-time champion Niki Lauda won his first two championships. ^[6]

Competition and development history

The SF-25 is the last Ferrari before new regulations take effect in 2026.

During pre-season testing at Bahrain International Circuit, new signee Hamilton set the second fastest time. ^[7]

The Australian Grand Prix saw both Ferrari cars enter Q3, with Leclerc qualifying seventh and Hamilton eighth, before finishing eighth and tenth respectively. ^[8] The Chinese Grand Prix saw both Ferrari cars enter SQ3 with Hamilton and Leclerc qualifying first and fourth, before finishing first and fifth, respectively, marking Ferrari's maiden sprint victory. ^[9] During the qualifying for the main race, Hamilton and Leclerc would qualify fifth and sixth before being disqualified from the same finishing positions with Leclerc's car found to be underweight, ^[10] and Hamilton's having excessive plank wear, ^[11] marking the first time both cars of a team were disqualified since Renault had both cars disqualified at the 2019 Japanese Grand Prix.

Ferrari debuted a special HP livery for Miami. Leclerc crashed his car after aquaplaning on a reconnaissance lap before the rain-affected sprint and could not start the race, with the team opting to repair the damage to his car before qualifying. ^[12] Hamilton salvaged a podium in third through a well-timed strategy, ^[13] but he found himself knocked out of Q2 (starting twelfth )for the race proper, with Leclerc in eighth finding himself outqualified by both Williams cars. ^[14] Ultimately, following a conflict on strategy and a pace deficit, the Ferraris finished seventh and eighth on track.
