The Red team continues to have two faces. On one hand, Charles Leclerc has secured his second consecutive podium of the 2025 season; on the other, in Barcelona, Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari was overtaken even by Nico Hulkenberg’s Sauber.
Turrini resigned after the Montmeló weekend
An episode that left Ferrari fans puzzled, now resigned to yet another season without titles. Something also highlighted by Leo Turrini in his regular editorial Profondo Rosso:
“I often find myself saying that being a Ferrari fan is a state of mind. Same goes for being an Inter supporter. I have both vices and so here I declare that the Red team and the ‘Beloved’ (Inter) have one thing in common, on the eve of a forgettable summer: zero tituli.
Staying on racing matters, at Montmeló the naive hope that McLaren’s dominance could be affected by the new regulations on front wing flexibility has faded. Simply put, it was fake news. Piastri strolled around and we have to prepare for a long sequence of duels between Oscar and his teammate Norris—with the Australian increasingly favored.
Translated: Ferrari will be left with crumbs, despite Carletto’s tireless goodwill. Leclerc is now turning into the Houdini of Grand Prix racing: at every race he tries to pull a rabbit out of the Red hat.”
“In the end, in this 2025, Ferrari might perhaps confirm itself as the second force among Constructors.
But the clearest image from Barcelona is another one, setting aside the tantrums of an irritable Max Verstappen. I’m referring to the incredible last-minute overtake suffered by Hamilton at the hands of his almost peer Nico Hulkenberg. Now, Hulk drives the car of the much-criticized Mattia Binotto, former head of the racing department in Maranello. This car is the future Audi, but for now it’s what remains of Sauber—the Cinderella of the teams. That Lewis Hamilton, with the history behind him, is unable to keep behind a Binotto employee, frankly, is baffling. It’s as if all of Ferrari’s eternal dreams reflect in the curse of a mediocrity that infects (almost) everyone. How long can we consider such a reality acceptable?” wrote the Italian journalist.
Words that perfectly describe the reality inside Ferrari’s garage. A garage that, based on what has been seen so far, will be watching rivals celebrate for the eighteenth consecutive year—once again postponing everything to yet another “next year.”
