Lewis Hamilton race engineer candidate named in Ferrari ‘raid’ on McLaren
A new candidate has been chosen to potentially replace the former Ferrari race engineer of F1 legend Lewis Hamilton, Riccardo Adami. In early 2026, it was announced that Adami would not continue alongside Hamilton for the upcoming season after a disappointing year. Adami will now take on a new role within Scuderia Ferrari. Hamilton’s new race engineer for the upcoming season under F1’s new regulations could be Cedric Michel-Grosjean, an engineer previously with McLaren. Bryan Bozzi, Charles Leclerc’s engineer, will assist Hamilton during the private shakedown tests, with the full-time replacement for Adami yet to be announced. Michel-Grosjean’s experience at McLaren could make him a suitable candidate to support Hamilton in the upcoming season.
