I am a passionate and knowledgeable Formula 1 fan who has watched the sport since age five, watching every single race. Having karted competitively throughout my teens, I understand what it takes to be a racing driver, and every aspect of motorsports fascinates me. I am now studying sports journalism at the University of Gloucestershire with the hopes of one day landing a dream role in motorsport. As well as English, I speak Spanish fluently after living there for some time when I was younger.
Charles Leclerc has already been pictured on track in Italy in Ferrari's new SF-25 the morning after the F1 Live 75 finished. Both Ferrari drivers made an appearance in London on Tuesday night to reveal their 2025 challenger. After the conclusion of the event, the Scuderia returned to their native Maranello for a shakedown.
According to the team themselves, the Italians will run up to 200 kilometres today in its first shakedown before pre-season testing begins in Bahrain on February 26. Just last night, Ferrari revealed their SF-25 in front of nearly 20,000 fans at London's O2 arena in F1's first-ever joint season launch event with all 10 teams and all 20 drivers.
