Ferrari 'More United than Ever' as Hamilton Drives New F1 Car After Troubled 2025
Ferrari aims to rebound from a winless 2025 by uniting its team around the SF-26, designed for major 2026 Formula 1 regulation changes, team principal said.
- On Friday, Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur said the team is 'more united than ever' as Lewis Hamilton test-drove the SF-26 in brief shakedown runs at Fiorano test track.
- After a difficult last season, Ferrari faced scrutiny over Vasseur as the team failed to win a Grand Prix before his contract extension with management backing.
- Built under new rules, the SF-26 reflects 'a particularly fascinating challenge', Hamilton said, with regulations mandating smaller, lighter cars and electrical power, while Vasseur called it 'a tremendous team effort'.
- The SF-26 aims to return Ferrari to the front with brief Fiorano runs setting up preseason testing next week in Spain and the Australian Grand Prix on March 8.
- Hamilton warned the 2026 season is a huge challenge and 'the biggest regulation change I have experienced in my career', noting his debut Ferrari season lacked Grand Prix podiums though he won a sprint race.
