Why a major Ferrari F1 upgrade is still not enough [ad-free video]
🕑 Added 2025-07-30 14:30:02 +0000 UTCThe second part of a major Ferrari F1 upgrade has helped strengthen its position as McLaren's nearest challenger after another Charles Leclerc podium finish - but he's warned it's still not enough.
Our latest video, available ad-free to The Race Members' Club on Patreon, looks at how big an impact the upgrade has had, why Lewis Hamilton's feedback was compromised, the changes Ferrari's made in the background and more.

Charles IS a superstar- Lewis WAS a superstar. I want Charles to be in a position to win and he will come through. He and Max are the class of this field.

I don't know how Leclerc stays positive with this team. He deserves a real chance to fight for the title.

It will be such a travesty if Leclerc never gets a chance at fighting for a WDC.

Hamilton just isn't as adaptable as Leclerc. Leclerc also is 13 years younger. If Hamilton can't compete in the 2026 regs that will seal the deal.

Ferrari have a pretty difficult decisions to make - obviously goal 1 is to just deliver the absolute best car they can design and tell the drivers to get on with it and adapt. But given this illusion of โthey actually have similar driving stylesโ, the real question is who is their best chance at a title moving forward IF given the car capable of doing itโฆ and when itโs a matter of car preference in development, which one should they lean towards who has the higher ceiling? Indications are right now, that answer is Leclerc.

It'll be interesting to see how they perform in Hungary, given the slower speed should let them run a lower ride height. I'm not expecting miracles, but there could be a sniff of a good result for a ferrari driver (most likely leclerc) if the McLarens have any issues or trip over each other

Its funny how if Hamilton cant do anything its the cars fault but lecler can drive it well.
