Lewis Hamilton \u201cdefinitely\u201d believes that Ferrari has benefited from the introduction of its rear-suspension upgrade.<\/p>\n
It was a hotly-anticipated update for the SF-25 which Ferrari had been working on, one which arrived in Belgium. There, Charles Leclerc made the podium, and the following weekend upset McLaren by snatching pole at Hungarian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

Ferrari had hoped to be title contenders in F1 2025, but it is an ambition which has not been realised.<\/p>\n
The team sits P2 in the Constructors\u2019 Championship standings<\/a>, but runaway leaders McLaren are 299 points up the road and likely marching towards a title double.<\/p>\n Leclerc has been extracting the most performance from Ferrari\u2019s F1 2025 creation, collecting five podiums thus far. Hamilton<\/a>, meanwhile, is yet to score a top three grand prix result. His adaptation to Ferrari life and machinery remains challenging.<\/p>\n However, Hamilton is pleased with the feeling coming from the upgraded Ferrari.<\/p>\n \u201cThe upgrade, I think, is a real positive,\u201d he confirmed to media including PlanetF1.com at the recent Hungarian Grand Prix.<\/p>\n \u201cI think there\u2019s more opportunity to extract more from it, so we\u2019re still fine-tuning it. But Charles did a great job [in Belgium] and obviously got his podium.<\/p>\n \u201cWe\u2019re not currently at the pace of the McLaren still. Whether or not we will, I have no idea.\u201d<\/p>\n Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc head-to-head in F1 2025<\/p>\n \ud83d\udc49\u00a0F1 2025: Head-to-head qualifying statistics between team-mates<\/a><\/p>\n
