Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari Formula 1 car has been officially summoned by the FIA for a technical presentation ahead of the 2025 Monaco Grand Prix. In a document released by the governing body, Hamilton’s SF-25 is listed as one of the three randomly selected cars to participate in the standard car display procedure. This weekend’s featured cars include Hamilton’s Ferrari, Oscar Piastri’s McLaren, and Carlos Sainz’s Williams.
This presentation is a routine part of every race weekend, where selected cars are showcased for closer inspection by the media and members of the Formula 1 paddock. It gives journalists and technical observers an opportunity to examine specific design elements and upgrades implemented by the teams. The Monaco Grand Prix, held on the iconic street circuit, offers a unique backdrop for such inspections, and this year, the spectacle could be influenced by weather conditions. Rain is currently forecast to potentially impact Friday and Saturday sessions, which could affect both practice and display procedures.
The FIA addressed the possibility of bad weather in their official announcement. According to the statement, if adverse weather strikes, teams will be alerted at least five minutes before the scheduled display time. In such cases, the presentation may be moved into the teams’ respective garage areas rather than being held outside. Additionally, if rain is falling during the display, the teams are instructed to keep the cars in position while utilizing awnings or covers to protect the machinery.
This procedure is not just ceremonial but also carries technical and competitive implications. Each race weekend, the FIA selects one car per team to be presented outside the garage. If a team has brought upgrades or new components to the track but has only fitted them to one of their cars, that upgraded car is the one required to be displayed. This policy helps ensure transparency in car development and allows rivals and experts alike to study technical innovations up close.
Ferrari recently introduced a series of upgrades at the previous round in Imola, marking the start of the European leg of the season. These changes were aimed at improving the SF-25’s performance as the Scuderia pushes for its first win of the 2025 campaign. However, despite the new developments, neither Hamilton nor his teammate Charles Leclerc managed to secure a victory at Imola, indicating that Ferrari still has work to do to catch up with the current front-runners.
Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, joined Ferrari at the start of the 2025 season in a highly publicized move from Mercedes. His presence in the garage has attracted even more media attention than usual, and the FIA’s car display only adds to the spotlight. Fans and analysts alike will be eager to get a closer look at the changes Ferrari has made in their continued quest to return to the top of the podium.
With weather uncertainty looming and competition heating up, the Monaco weekend promises both spectacle and scrutiny for Hamilton and Ferrari.
