Ferrari set to use two different cars to start 2026
Fred Vasseur’s Ferrari F1 team will use two different cars before finalizing their setup for the 2026 season, following a disappointing performance in 2025 where they finished fourth in the constructors’ standings. With new regulations in place, Ferrari aims to start fresh under technical director Loic Serra and explore innovative strategies within the rulebook. Ferrari plans to unveil ‘Spec A’ for pre-season testing in January, focusing on testing the power unit’s electronics, followed by ‘Spec B’ for further evaluations during the Bahrain tests. Vasseur and his team will then decide on a car configuration aiming to improve their competitive position by the 2026 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The Scuderia’s approach to testing and development showcases a commitment to reaching higher levels of performance in the upcoming season.
