Could 2026 be Hamilton’s year and a Ferrari renaissance?
Lewis Hamilton is predicted to excel in Formula 1 in 2026 with the new regulations, aiming for victories once more. The 2026 cars boast a lighter, more agile design, hitting the Bahrain International Circuit for testing. Specific changes include a 30kg weight reduction, 20cm wheelbase decrease, and 10cm narrower car width. Additionally, the maximum floor width, front and rear tire widths, and front wing size have all been trimmed for this season. Williams driver Alex Albon believes these modifications will favor Hamilton’s driving style, making corners shorter and emphasizing speed over exits. Despite being labeled a ‘bold statement’ by Carlos Sainz, Hamilton’s prowess in the revamped F1 setup has garnered attention and anticipation for the upcoming races.
