Ferrari travels to Brazil looking to carry the momentum built from the Austin and Mexico weekends. Team principal Frédéric Vasseur has outlined the main challenges awaiting the Scuderia at Interlagos, as the SF-25 aims to confirm the encouraging signs shown in recent races.
The Formula 1 paddock is ready for the Brazilian Grand Prix, and Frédéric Vasseur is hoping to secure a third consecutive strong result for Ferrari. After the podium finishes in Austin and Mexico City, the SF-25 appears to have regained both competitiveness and consistency. The improvement comes from more precise race execution and circuits that better suit the characteristics of the Maranello car. Now, Ferrari’s goal is to maintain this level of performance in São Paulo.
The Mexican Grand Prix reinforced the progress made by the team over recent weeks. Both Ferrari drivers qualified in the top three on Saturday, and on Sunday the Scuderia finished second behind Lando Norris and McLaren. It was an important result that boosted morale in Maranello and strengthened Ferrari’s position in the Constructors’ Championship, where the goal remains to challenge Mercedes and Red Bull.
Interlagos will host the penultimate Sprint weekend of the season, which will alter the usual race format. There will be only one free practice session before the Sprint qualifying and race. Combined with Brazil’s notoriously unpredictable weather, this could shuffle the competitive order. For Ferrari, the keyword remains “execution,” as emphasized by team principal Frédéric Vasseur.
Vasseur: “We’ll be ready for Brazil”
Fred Vasseur expressed confidence ahead of the weekend: “At Interlagos, we’ll face the fifth Sprint weekend of the season, which represents another demanding challenge for the entire team, both physically and mentally. In such a compact format, every detail becomes even more crucial — from the preparation work done at Maranello to the real-time support from the Remote Garage.”
He continued: “We arrive in Brazil feeling confident and motivated after two solid weekends in Austin and Mexico City, where we maximized the car’s potential. The goal now is to maintain this momentum, focus on flawless execution, and be ready to handle — and take advantage of — whatever weather conditions we might face in São Paulo.” – the French manager concluded ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend
