Sky Sports F1: With Ferrari languishing over 150 points behind surprise Constructors' Championship leaders McLaren just six races into the 2025 Formula 1 season, team principal Frederic Vasseur believes a mid-season rule change could offer the beleaguered Scuderia a potential turning point.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Sky Sports F1 from Ferrari’s Maranello headquarters, Vasseur called the upcoming front-wing technical directive “a potential game changer,” suggesting it could significantly shake up the performance hierarchy, particularly at the sharp end of the grid.

The rule, introduced by the FIA in January and set to come into effect at the Spanish Grand Prix (May 30 – June 1), will reduce permitted flex in front wings from 15mm to 10mm. It is designed to tighten interpretations around aerodynamic flexibility — a grey area several top teams, including McLaren and Red Bull, are believed to have been exploiting.
