Three races into the F1 2025 season and Ferrari may have a Sprint win courtesy of Lewis, but it has not been the start to the campaign that anyone from the Maranello team had expected.

Ferrari have scored just 35 points, their efforts not helped by a double disqualification from the Grand Prix in China.

Although they have managed to get both cars into the points in every event, pre-DSQ that is, they have yet to reach the podium in a Grand Prix.

Although Hamilton’s victory in the Sprint in Shanghai took some of the sting out of that, two weeks later in Japan he was speaking about a part on his car that was defective, claiming that was why he was slower than his team-mate Charles Leclerc in the Grands Prix.
