168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton confirmed Ferrari are bringing an upgrade at the Bahrain Grand Prix but insists he feels “no huge issues” with their F1 car.

Ferrari’s torrid start to the 2025 season has led to speculation that the team are battling𝔍 a fundamental design flaw with their SF25 car, which has underperformed across the opening three races.

A lack of competitiveness in Australia - where 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc and Hamilton could only finish eighth and 10th - was followed by a double di☂squalification at💃 the Chinese Grand Prix.

Hamilton’s disqualification was due to excessive plank wear, which only 𒀰added fuel to early suggestions that Ferrari are facing a ride heigh🎀t problem which may also explain their fundamental performance deficit.

There is widely ▨held belief in the F1 paddock that Ferrari are unable to run their car as low as they want,ᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚ costing them vital downforce and lap time.

Ferrari have remained tight-lipped about the rꦅumours but are bringing what is seen as being a key floor upgrade to Bahrain in a bid to save their season.

Speaking ahead of the weekend on Thursday, the seven-time world champion revealed Ferr🌞ari♎ have indeed brought an upgrade package as expected, though he downplayed concerns about his car.

“We’ve got an upgrade this weekend so I’m excited we’re goinꦰg to hopefully have a bit more downforceℱ,” Hamilton told Sky Sports F1.

“I’m not really feeling a huge amount of issues just we lack overജall performance at the moment pace wise, which we will hopefully take 🌼a step this weekend.

“On my side, it’s rear-end a little bit [I’m struggling with] anౠd t🍒hat’s about it.”

Charles Leclerc: Ferrari three-tenths behind McLaren

Leclerc scored Ferrari’s best result in a grand prix this seaso🌜n by finishing a distant fourth in Japan last time out.

The Monegasque hopes the new parts will lift Ferrari’s performance, though he concedes it won’t be enough to close the estimated three-tenth gap๊ to F1 pacesetters McLaren.

“We’ve got some new bits on the car coming which I hope willಞ help us to close that gap a little b🐲it.

“Whether it will be enough to close the complete gap, I▨ don’t🍨 think so. I don’t think there is that in what we are bringing here.

“But I hope it🦄 will help us to at leaꦿst be closer. It’s still quite a significant step.

“In Suzuka I think this was the gap that there is between 💝McLaren and ourselves, which is three-tenths.

“We need to work very hard in order ꦿto catch that and that’s what we are doing and I’m confident we can close that gap.

“Again, what we are bringing here, I don’t thꦅink will be enough, but hopefully short-term we will have other things which will help us to be closer.”

Ferrari head into this weekend fourth in the constructor♕s’ championship and 76 points behind McLaren.&♔nbsp;
