Ferrari F1 boss hints at Lewis Hamilton reshuffle in 2026
Ferrari F1 team principal Fred Vasseur revealed the need for improved collaboration within Ferrari and hinted at a possible reshuffle within the team. Lewis Hamilton struggled in his first season at Ferrari, finishing sixth in the drivers’ championship without a single grand prix podium in 2025.
Hamilton fell 86 points behind his teammate Charles Leclerc, who achieved seven podiums and a pole position in a challenging SF-25 car. Vasseur emphasized the need for Hamilton to maximize his performance and hinted at potential changes within his close team for 2026.
As Ferrari aims to challenge higher up the grid with the new regulations in 2026, both Hamilton and Leclerc require a more competitive car to rival McLaren, Mercedes, and Max Verstappen. Hamilton’s partnership with his race engineer Riccardo Adami may undergo evaluation as Ferrari seeks to optimize their collaboration for improved performance.
