Lewis Hamilton howler disturbs Ferrari F1 harmony
According to a former racer, despite Ferrari’s positive F1 2026 preparations, Lewis Hamilton faces a disruption due to the lack of a race engineer. Hamilton, after a tough first season with Ferrari, seems to have found his footing and is enjoying driving the new SF-26. The team’s good start to the season, highlighted by fast practice sessions and positive vibes, is contrasted by the absence of a dedicated engineer for Hamilton. Ivan Capelli expressed concerns about this issue potentially disturbing the team’s ‘calm’ atmosphere and harmonious design focus. Ferrari has not yet permanently assigned a race engineer for Hamilton, with Carlo Santi expected to continue as an interim solution before Cedric Michel-Grosjean potentially takes over.
