Ferrari in crisis: analysis of the technical and sporting collapse after Brazil

The Maranello team is going through one of its darkest periods after the disastrous Brazilian Grand Prix, where both its single-seaters crossed the finish line again without scoring a single point for the team. This third double nullity in the season highlights the seriousness of the situation facing the historic Italian team, whose prestige is seriously compromised. 🏎️💥

Unprecedented technical breakdown

The problems in Interlagos demonstrated a chain of errors that repeats weekend after weekend. The lack of competitiveness of the F1-75 has become a constant, especially worrying when rivals like Alpine and McLaren show positive evolutions in their developments. The Italian car seems to behave like a precision instrument that only works under very specific conditions, while the rest of the grid advances.

Key factors of the decline:
  • Poor tire management that prevents maintaining race pace
  • Questionable pit strategies that worsen positions
  • Inability to adapt to changing track conditions

Consequences in the constructors' championship

The drop to fourth place in the teams' world championship represents a devastating blow to the team's aspirations. With only two races remaining, Ferrari sees how Alpine consolidates in third position while McLaren threatens to snatch even fourth place from them. This situation has direct economic implications for the next season and represents a moral wound for the entire technical and sporting structure.

Immediate impact:
  • Loss of championship prize money income for 2025
  • Massive discontent from the tifoseria on social media and forums
  • Credibility crisis in the team's technical management

Immediate future prospects

While other teams demonstrate evolution capacity throughout the championship, Ferrari seems to have stagnated in a vicious circle of errors. The inability to react to adversities has become the hallmark of this season, where each race represents a new missed opportunity. The team needs a profound reinvention if it wants to return to competing at the level its history demands. 🔧📉
