Good news for Hamilton. Ferrari will solve this in 2026
Italian sources say that the changes to the Ferrari SF-26 for the 2026 season could be good news for Lewis Hamilton.
The seven-time champion in his first season with the Scuderia could only reach the top step of the podium after the sprint in China; His teammate Charles Leclerc reached the podium seven times in 2025.
Despite the Monegasque’s relative success last season, both he and Hamilton have repeatedly criticized the SF-25. Pilots complained about problems with the steering wheel, unbalanced clutch and the chassis as a whole. At one stage in 2025, Leclerc described the car as “uncontrollable” at the Hungarian Grand Prix.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Ferrari’s new 2026 car is designed primarily to solve last season’s key problems, including difficulties warming up tires and a chronic lack of grip in critical conditions.
Another plus for Hamilton is that the SF-26 is the first car he and former Mercedes technical director Loïc Serra had the opportunity to work on after joining Ferrari.
The team’s aim is to create a predictable and stable car that does not lose performance and remains controllable when grip levels on the track change. This is expected to have a positive impact on both Hamilton and Leclerc.
Hamilton’s age (41) means he is just a few seasons away from winning his eighth world title, so the success of the Ferrari SF-26 will be critical for the Briton.
