Carlos Sainz confirms Ferrari’s decision to exclude him from development discussions for their 2025 Formula 1 car, as he prepares to depart the team. This logical move comes ahead of seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton’s arrival at Ferrari in 2025. Sainz remains focused on the current season, while Ferrari looks to secure a championship win before the new regulations take effect.

Ferrari team principal Frederic Vasseur has expressed his confidence in the team’s competitiveness despite a recent dip in performance, which saw them fall behind their rivals in the Austrian Grand Prix. Vasseur remains optimistic about Ferrari’s chances, citing the natural ebb and flow of the Formula 1 season and the team’s focus on continuous improvement.

Despite securing a podium finish at the Austrian Grand Prix, Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz has admitted that the team’s SF-24 car is currently lagging behind its Formula 1 rivals, such as Mercedes and McLaren. With the British Grand Prix on the horizon, the Scuderia is under pressure to find a performance boost to stay in the hunt.

As Ferrari struggles to keep pace with its rivals, Carlos Sainz warns that the team’s weaknesses remain deeply ingrained in the SF-24’s architecture, and that even successful upgrades cannot eradicate these issues. The Spanish driver believes Ferrari’s struggles are rooted in its car’s inability to perform optimally in long, combined corners, a trait that has been evident since the early stages of the 2024 season.
