Ferrari are set to bring updates to their underperforming car during the forthcoming Austria-Silverstone double header.
Mercedes’ win at the Canadian Grand Prix means Ferrari are now the only one of F1’s big-four teams without a full race victory so far this season, with the team struggling for consistency with their SF-25 car throughout a whole race weekend.
Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton finished fifth and sixth respectively in Montreal with the latter admitting afterwards that they “are really in need of an upgrade” to try and close the gap to the front.
Without specifically stating at which of the next two races that car changes would arrive – the Austrian GP this weekend or British GP on July 4-6 – team boss Frederic Vasseur confirmed new parts were on their way, although stressed this was not actually where he felt they required most attention.
“We will have an upgrade soon, before UK, and perhaps another one a bit later,” said Vasseur.
“But, honestly, I think there is much more in execution and what you get from the car, than the potential of the car itself.
Lewis Hamilton was devastated when he found out he hit a groundhog during the race at the Canadian Grand Prix.
“Now we are at the end of the regulations, when we bring something to the track, we are speaking hundredths rather than tenths and if you don’t use the car well, you lose tenths.
“That’s happened a couple of times on our side at least – and we are not the only one. When we brought upgrades in the past, we needed one or two races to adapt the car to the set-up of the new version.
“I want to put the focus on the team much more on the execution than on the pure potential of the car. But we will bring something.”
Hamilton had told Sky Sports F1 after the race in Canada: “We are really in need of an upgrade and there’s lots of things that need to change for us to compete at the front.
“We have something hopefully coming next week [Austria]. I don’t know if it’s much, how much it is. I don’t think it’s a lot. I just think it’s one of those years.”

‘We have to do a better job’ – Vasseur on the keys for Ferrari
Vasseur conceded Ferrari had “failed massively” in Canada to perfectly execute their race weekend, something he sees as being crucial – particularly around tyre usage – if they are to turn their disappointing season around.
Asked about their prospects at Austria’s medium-speed Red Bull Ring, Vasseur said: “The pace was decent in Barcelona that we were quick in sector one there. We were quick in Monaco.
“Even before the weekend, you have to put everything together in the right place if you want to achieve a good result. In the tyre usage and the tyre performance, I think there is much more in that, than between the cars.
“It doesn’t matter about the car, if the team is doing a very good job on the tyres, they will be in front.
“We saw that in Canada, Monaco and Imola. It is what it is and it will be like this until the end of the season but it’s the same for everyone and we have to do a better job.”

2025-26 NBA Rookie of the Year odds: Cooper Flagg opens as overwhelming favorite
The Dallas Mavericks won the NBA lottery on May 12, and it was pretty clear from that date on they'd take Duke star forward Cooper Flagg with the No. 1 overall pick in 2025 NBA Draft. And that's exactly what they did Wednesday night at Barclays Center in New York.Flagg will play on a Mavericks team that will be waiting a good chunk of the season for the return of Kyrie Irving from a torn ACL. Flagg is the -225 odds-on favorite at BetMGM to win the 2025-26 NBA Rookie of the Year — only the third time since 2006 (as far back as the Sports Odds History database goes) a player has been an odds-on favorite in the preseason to win the award.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementThe other two players that were odds-on ROY favorites in the preseason at sportsbooks — Kevin Durant […]
The Browns end player contract while Stefanski remains torn over new QB; signs point to a likely starter
It's been quite a hectic offseason for the Cleveland Browns. With the arrival of Shedeur Sanders, Dillon Gabriel, Kenny Pickett, and the return of 40-year-old veteran Joe Flacco, head coach Kevin Stefanski has surely had a sweaty start to the summer-and not just because of the heat that's sweeping across the country.The pressure on Stefanski's shoulders is immense. Since the departure of Baker Mayfield-who managed to steady the ship, make the team competitive, and build a solid foundation for future seasons-everything fell apart once he left. It was back to square one, again.Shedeur Sanders gets uneasy over a sensitive topicAfter Mayfield's exit and Flacco's brief but promising stint, the team seemed to rebound-though only for a season, as he moved on to the Colts. Once again, the Browns were forced to restart. Adding to their woes, the massive $230 million […]
