Ferrari is struggling to take off in F1, and Italian singer-songwriter Francesca Michielin has the perfect solution for fans. Even in Japan, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton have to settle for scraps. The Monegasque’s fourth place gives some hope, but it’s still too little against a McLaren and Max Verstappen who continue to rack up podiums and wins. A rebound is awaited in Bahrain.
At a sleepy Suzuka, the SF-25 couldn’t do better than fourth and seventh. It was a step forward compared to Melbourne and Shanghai—Sprint Race win aside—but still not enough to challenge McLaren and Red Bull. The upcoming updates in Bahrain next week promise another performance step, but Frédéric Vasseur isn’t promising miracles.
The impressions coming from Lewis Hamilton’s and Charles Leclerc’s respective garages are also fanning the flames. It seems the two aren’t aligned on what the car needs, at least judging by their statements to the media. Their coexistence could suffer, as might the car’s development path. It’s not a comforting picture for Ferrari fans, who are being offered some relief by Francesca Michielin.
A perfect exercise for Ferrari fans
In a TikTok shared on her profile, the singer and longtime F1 fan proposes “five voice exercises inspired by Formula 1.” It starts with the crying position—“which, these days, is very on trend”—involving descending lip rolls that imitate engine sounds, all the way to a vocal fry done in the perfect position for the sleep-inducing Japanese Grand Prix.

Ferrari: what to expect from the SF-25 in Bahrain
As Frédéric Vasseur has previewed, a first package of updates for the SF-25 will arrive in Bahrain—the second stop of the triple-header that also includes Saudi Arabia. These are updates planned since pre-season testing, so they likely aren’t true corrections. For those—if they turn out to be needed—there will likely be more waiting.
In any case, a performance step is well within reach for the Maranello team. The Sakhir circuit features a mix of slow corners that, on paper, don’t favor Ferrari and instead should suit McLaren. Despite this, it’s clear that the fight with Red Bull and Mercedes is particularly tight, and a podium challenge can’t be ruled out.
