Ferrari head into the Bahrain Grand Prix looking for redemption and resurgence, with Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton expressing cautious optimism about new upgrades that could help close the gap to frontrunners McLaren and Red Bull.
After a mixed start to the 2025 Formula 1 season – one that included a double disqualification in China and consistent struggles to match the pace of the front-runners – Ferrari find themselves sitting fourth in the Constructors` standings. But the arrival of new components on the SF-25 this weekend has injected some fresh hope into the Italian camp.
