[Saba Sports News] According to multiple Italian media reports, Ferrari conducted a secret test at the Mugello Circuit and tested the new rear suspension system of the SF-25 car on the track for the first time. This upgrade seems to have injected renewed confidence into the team, with insiders saying that the atmosphere within the team became very optimistic after the test. It is reported that the test was carried out under the guise of an official filming day, with reserve driver Antonio Giovinazzi first taking the wheel to collect basic data, followed by main drivers Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc who took turns driving the SF-25 equipped with the new rear suspension. According to reports, both drivers provided key feedback, laying the foundation for the next stage of car setup. Additionally, the media revealed that Ferrari plans to adjust the power steering system after the Hungarian Grand Prix. This decision is closely related to the drivers’ feedback from the Silverstone race. It is understood that both Hamilton and Leclerc have mentioned that the steering felt too heavy in high-speed corners, with Leclerc having previously expressed dissatisfaction during a race earlier this year. With the Belgian Grand Prix approaching, whether the new suspension system will bring a real competitiveness boost will be a focal point of attention both on and off the track.
