You’ll see, with the new cars, Hamilton will be back in the fight for victory; he’s always great.”
Alpine F1 advisor Flavio Briatore predicts Lewis Hamilton and Ferrari will be fighting for victories in 2026, despite their struggles. Ferrari, currently without a win in the top four of the 2025 constructors’ standings, has not met expectations with Hamilton on board. The SF-25 lacks clear strengths compared to its previous models. Briatore, however, trusts in team principal Frederic Vasseur’s ability to turn things around. Despite Hamilton’s podium drought in Ferrari colors, Briatore believes the new regulations will bring them back into contention next year. Hamilton’s last podium was at the 2024 Las Vegas Grand Prix, and his Ferrari career has been challenging, reminiscent of Kimi Raikkonen’s drought at the team.
