It follows the naming convention that has been in place for the last two seasons, with Ferrari’s 2023 and 2024 machines called the SF-23 and SF-24 respectively.

Ferrari have been building up to the 2025 season with test outings at their own track in Fiorano – where Hamilton made his eagerly awaited debut for the team – and Barcelona over the last couple of weeks.

This week’s test at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya was interrupted by a crash for Hamilton, who has been sharing track time with team mate Charles Leclerc.

Going forward, Ferrari are also due to take part in a tyre test for Pirelli at the Spanish Grand Prix venue next week.
