Ferrari reverts to last year’s rear wing for Monaco GP, Red Bull could be heading towards another driver crisis, and other big updates

Ferrari reverts to last year’s rear wing for Monaco GP

Ferrari will run a revised rear wing from last year’s design at this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix after a poor start to their 2025 season, where the SF-25 has shown persistent weaknesses and struggled in qualifying. Despite Charles Leclerc’s home win in Monaco last year and being just 31 points behind the leader after that race, Ferrari has managed only one podium in seven races this year. The team is also testing a new rear suspension to improve the car’s mechanical platform. They aim to introduce it at Silverstone as a final push to salvage the season. Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur insists the car still has potential, but the upgrades are critical given their diminished low-speed performance and ongoing struggles.

Red Bull is giving Tsunoda more time to improve, but Lawson is in more danger because a new rookie, Lindblad, might take his place. If Tsunoda and Lawson don’t get better soon, Red Bull might have to make more driver changes before the season ends.

Newey has helped design cars that have won 26 F1 World Championships, and he still uses old-fashioned drawing boards instead of computers because it helps him work better. He started working with Aston Martin in March and has been busy with the new 2026 car rules, so he didn’t go to races before, but now he will be at Monaco to help the team.
