Ferrari completed its pre-season test programme with the SF-25, racking up a total of 385 laps in Bahrain ahead of the opening round in Australia on 16 March. The distance was equivalent to around seven Grand Prix distances and 2084 kilometres.
The Scuderia's deputy team principal Jerome D’Ambrosio has indicated that Ferrari will remain cautious ahead of the season opener, acknowledging McLaren as the early favorite after their strong showing in the second half of last season.
“We can expect a hard-fought championship. Drawing conclusions from the three days of testing is difficult, because everyone follows their own schedules and wind and rain did not help. We’ll see in Melbourne.”
Having completed a demonstration run in the heart of Milan, close to the Castello, Ferrari will now shift it focus to analyze the collected data and refining the SF-25 before the season opener.
“We go back to the factory and try to analyze all the opportunities we have to improve the car. We want to get to Melbourne with a deeper knowledge of this Ferrari. So far our work has been hard and constant.
“It will be a hard-fought championship. Now let’s go back to the factory to improve in view of Melbourne," concluded D'Ambrosio.
