Ferrari capped off a difficult F1 season in Abu Dhabi as focus already shifts to opportunities in 2026.
“Charles Leclerc emphasized the importance of Ferrari reclaiming a top position in Formula 1 next season due to new technical regulations coming into effect.
Having aimed to challenge for the F1 title in 2025, Ferrari’s hopes were high with the addition of Lewis Hamilton to the team.
Unfortunately, both Ferrari and Hamilton faced struggles during the season, with Ferrari failing to secure a single Grand Prix victory and Hamilton experiencing a podium-less season for the first time in his career.
With significant changes to the power unit and chassis looming for the upcoming season, Leclerc views this as a major opportunity for Ferrari to bounce back after a disappointing year.
Despite the team’s prolonged title drought since 2008, Leclerc remains optimistic about his championship prospects with Ferrari and believes that the next season will be pivotal in their journey towards success.”
