Ferrari's 2025 F1 car runs for first time in Fiorano shakedown

Charles Leclerc has given the Ferrari SF-25 Formula 1 car its first run as the new car hit the track at Fiorano on Wednesday morning.

The new livery and renders of the design were unveiled as part of F1's 75th anniversary launch event at the O2 in London on Tuesday, and now the actual car Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton will use in 2025 has completed its first shakedown laps at Ferrari's famous test track.

The car is 99% new this year according to team principal Fred Vasseur, and features pullrod front suspension to open up more opportunities for development and to improve airflow around the front of the car.

Leclerc waved to fans while circulating the Fiorano track, with pictures emerging of fans stood behind foliage and fences and even pyrotechnics being set off ahead of what is Ferrari's most anticipated F1 season for some time with Hamilton's arrival.
