Those lap times don’t mean much. Just take a look at the rear wing Leclerc had compared to Lewis - he was running a high downforce setup, which changes everything about the car's performance.DJ Downforce wrote: ↑05 Feb 2025, 20:29And that's a wrap on the tests.
Final day lap times:
Hamilton - 1:16.759
Leclerc - 1:14.971
Of course these times don't mean anything - different tires etc. would I be saying this if ham was ahead
Hopefully both drivers have found use in the track time and dusted off the winter cobwebs. This is the calm before the storm now - in a few weeks it's all gonna start kicking off in a good way

SF-24 was used for the Pirelli test, which is where the lap times are from, both driver set those times in the SF-24, with the low downforce setup. The car in the image is the SF-23, which was used for the TPC test, completely unrelated to the lap times.
Didn't think I had to mention it on a “technical” forum, but please stop looking at lap times from a tyre test, where Pirelli select the compounds and run plans for the teams.
Sorry guys, I jumped the gun thinking I was onto something fresh. Saw some Ferrari photos in my feed and thought they were new, but turns out they’re 6 days old from the TPC test. Still finding my way in the red gallery!the EDGE wrote: ↑06 Feb 2025, 22:00It’s not El_KaPpa’s fault…scuderiabrandon wrote: ↑06 Feb 2025, 21:38That's a completely different car mate.El_KaPpa wrote: ↑06 Feb 2025, 21:25

I have no idea why Pirelli would release lap times from 2026 prototype tyre test in a Bastardised car running a sub-optimal setup with an engine that won’t even exist, at a track they will not race at, in the first place
Can’t wait for the proper car launches. Even after all these years, the beginning of the season always makes me giddy with excitement.Luscion wrote: ↑07 Feb 2025, 18:21Ferrari going to show images of the SF-25 after the event in London on the 18th
