Ferrari Faces Key Upgrades Amid Internal Dynamics

As Formula One heads to Bahrain for the fifth race of the 2025 season, McLaren's Lando Norris leads the Drivers' Championship, while Max Verstappen aims to solidify his standing after a victory in Japan. Despite Ferrari's challenges, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton are eager to claim their first win of the season amidst internal dynamics and performance discrepancies. Hamilton has expressed concerns over a performance deficit in his car compared to Leclerc's, although Ferrari's Fred Vasseur attributes the gap to differing car setups. Jacques Villeneuve has suggested that Hamilton has already taken control of Ferrari from Leclerc, a move he deems significant. The Bahrain Grand Prix will be crucial for Ferrari as they introduce key upgrades, hoping to bridge the performance gap with leading teams like McLaren and Red Bull.
