Ferrari Stock Plummets 8.73% in Five Days Amidst Chinese Grand Prix Disqualification Drama

Ferrari (RACE) shares fell 4.67% on March 26, 2025, marking the fifth consecutive day of decline, with a total decrease of 8.73% over the past five days. The stock's trading volume reached 4.40 billion, ranking 186th in the day's market activity.

Ferrari's recent performance in the Chinese Grand Prix has been marred by a double disqualification, which has raised concerns about the team's reliability and performance. Charles Leclerc, one of Ferrari's top drivers, called for a "reset" and urged the team to turn the situation around in time for the Japanese Grand Prix. The disqualification came after both Leclerc's and Lewis Hamilton's cars were found to be non-compliant with regulations, with Leclerc's car being underweight and Hamilton's car having excessive skid wear.

Ferrari's internal concerns have been exacerbated by the performance issues of their 2025 F1 car. Both Leclerc and Hamilton have expressed doubts about the car's design and performance, particularly in medium and high-speed corners. The team is now under pressure to address these issues and improve their standing in the Constructors' Championship, where they currently sit in fifth place, 61 points behind the leaders, McLaren.

The disqualification has also drawn criticism from former F1 driver Ralf Schumacher, who labeled Ferrari as 'incompetent' for their blunders. The team's performance has been scrutinized, with data from the Chinese GP revealing issues such as ride height and performance with a damaged wing. Ferrari's management has acknowledged the mistakes and vowed to learn from them, but the team's season is now in crisis mode as they work to address the deeper issues with their 2025 car.
