Ferrari have been the butt of the joke in Formula 1 for quite a few years now, sadly much of it self-inflicted as they find new ways to shoot themselves…
Unfortunately, Ferrari has been struggling in Formula 1 for years due to self-inflicted missteps, resulting in a negative reputation within the sport. Even Lewis Hamilton couldn’t immediately change this narrative in his first season with Ferrari in 2025, enduring his worst season without a podium and being outperformed by teammate Charles Leclerc. Despite the challenges faced in 2025, Ferrari’s strong winter preparations have raised hopes for a competitive 2026 season. The 2026 Ferrari driver lineup will feature Lewis Hamilton alongside Charles Leclerc for their second season together, with Hamilton seeking to regain his winning form and Leclerc aiming to build on his impressive performances. In the 2025 season, Ferrari finished 4th in the constructors’ championship, with Hamilton and Leclerc placing 6th and 5th respectively in the drivers’ championship. Fred Vasseur currently serves as Ferrari’s team principal, leading the team since 2023 and aiming to steer the team towards success in the upcoming seasons. Amidst new developments, Ferrari has introduced an innovative rear wing design to enhance performance, showcasing their ongoing commitment to technological advancements in Formula 1.
