HOW F1’S NEW OVERTAKING MODE WILL WORK IN 2026 – AND WHY IT MATTERS FOR LEWIS AND FORMULA 1

Image
Formula 1 is heading for one of the biggest changes in its modern history in 2026, and at the heart of that reset is the end of DRS and the arrival of something entirely new: overtaking mode. For Lewis, for Ferrari, and for the entire F1 grid, this change is about more than just a different button on the steering wheel. It is about redefining how racing, attacking, and defending works in Formula 1. As a long-time F1 fan, this feels like a bold move that could either revive wheel-to-wheel racing or create a brand-new set of challenges for drivers and teams to master. Let’s break it all down in simple terms, explain how overtaking mode works, and explore why it could be a crucial factor for Lewis and F1 in the new era. The End Of DRS And Why Formula 1 Is Moving On From 2011 through to the end of 2025, the Drag Reduction System defined overtaking in Formula 1. DRS was simple: get within one second of the car ahead at a detection point, open the rear wing flap in the DRS zone, gain straigh...

FERRARI’S 2026 RESET: WHY LEWIS AND LECLERC DEMAND A CAR THAT FINALLY LISTENS

Image
Ferrari head into the 2026 Formula 1 season with pressure coming from every direction. After a deeply frustrating 2025 campaign, expectations inside Maranello are sky-high, especially from Lewis and Charles Leclerc. Both drivers endured a season that promised much and delivered very little, and neither is prepared to accept a repeat. For Lewis, 2025 was supposed to be the start of something special. Instead, it became one of the most difficult years of his legendary F1 career. For Leclerc, it was another painful reminder that raw talent alone is not enough without a car capable of fighting for wins and championships. Now, with a complete regulation reset for 2026, Ferrari have no excuses left. This is the season Ferrari must finally listen. A 2025 Season Ferrari Want To Forget Ferrari ended the 2025 Formula 1 season without a single race victory, finishing a distant fourth in the Constructors’ Championship. In pure Ferrari terms, that is failure. Even more damning was the fact that Lec...

F1 2026 QUALIFYING EXPLAINED: WHAT CHANGES WITH 22 CARS ON THE GRID AND WHY IT MATTERS FOR LEWIS

Image
The 2026 Formula 1 season marks the start of a bold new era for the sport. New technical regulations, new power units, active aerodynamics, and now a bigger grid. With Cadillac officially joining Formula 1, the grid expands from 20 cars to 22 cars for the first time in years. That single change alone has a knock-on effect across the entire weekend, especially when it comes to qualifying. For fans, qualifying has always been one of the purest tests in F1. No strategy tricks, no tyre management over long stints, just raw pace over one lap. For drivers like Lewis, qualifying has often been the foundation of race success throughout his legendary F1 career. So when the grid grows and the format adjusts, it matters. The good news is that F1 has not tried to reinvent the wheel. The familiar three-part knockout qualifying system remains. The changes are subtle, but important, and they will shape how teams, drivers, and fans experience Saturdays in 2026. The Familiar Three-Part Qualifying Struc...

F1 2026 DRIVER CONTRACTS EXPLAINED: WHERE LEWIS HAMILTON AND THE GRID STAND HEADING INTO A NEW ERA

Image
The 2026 Formula 1 season is shaping up to be one of the most fascinating in the sport’s modern history. Not only are we heading into a massive regulation reset with new cars, new engines, and a completely different driving challenge, but the F1 driver market is also wide open. Contracts are expiring, futures are uncertain, and every team is positioning itself for the next era. As an F1 fan who has lived through multiple regulation changes, I can say this with confidence: driver stability matters more than ever when the rules change. Teams that get the driver pairing right early usually gain a critical advantage. And sitting right at the heart of this conversation is Lewis. His Ferrari contract, his influence, and his role heading into 2026 are central to how this grid may evolve. Let’s break down the full F1 2026 driver contract picture, team by team, and explain what it all really means for Formula 1. Why The F1 2026 Season Changes Everything The 2026 Formula 1 season marks the bigge...

LEWIS HAMILTON EXPLAINS WHY F1 NEEDS THE 2026 RULES RESET — AND WHY THE CHALLENGE MATTERS

Image
Formula 1 is heading toward one of the biggest turning points in its modern history, and Lewis has made it clear why the sport needs it. As the 2026 season approaches, F1 is preparing for a complete regulations overhaul that will reshape how the cars look, how they are powered, and how they race. For Lewis, this reset is not something to fear — it is something Formula 1 absolutely needs. The 2026 F1 regulations represent the most significant change in a generation. Both the chassis and the power unit rules are being rewritten from the ground up. This is not a small evolution or a minor tweak. It is a full reset that will challenge every team, every engineer, and every driver on the grid. Lewis believes that challenge is exactly what Formula 1 should be about. Why Formula 1 Needs To Keep Challenging Itself Lewis has always believed that Formula 1 should push the limits — of technology, of engineering, and of the drivers themselves. Speaking about the upcoming regulation changes, Lewis m...

FERRARI'S 2025 FAILURE EXPOSES A TEAM STILL IGNORING LEWIS HAMILTON’S WISDOM

Image
The 2025 Formula 1 season was supposed to be the rebirth of Ferrari. With fresh momentum from their strong end to 2024, renewed belief under Fred Vasseur, and—most importantly—the arrival of Lewis—many fans dared to dream again. After 17 long years without a championship, Ferrari looked like a team ready to fight. The tifosi were excited. The global F1 community was buzzing. And Lewis supporters worldwide believed this was finally the moment the greatest driver of all time would bring glory back to Maranello. But as the season unfolded, that dream dissolved into another painful chapter in Ferrari’s modern history. Instead of a revival, Ferrari endured a campaign defined by inconsistency, missed opportunities, internal friction, and a car that seemed determined to betray both its drivers. For Lewis, it became—by his own admission—one of the hardest seasons of his legendary career. For Ferrari, it was further proof that the issues holding them back have deeper roots than many care to adm...

FERRARI IS FAILING LEWIS HAMILTON — AND ONLY HE CAN SAVE THEM

Image
Ferrari entered the 2025 Formula 1 season with the kind of optimism only Maranello can project—big dreams, big promises, and the belief that bringing Lewis into the team would spark a new era of dominance. Instead, what followed has been a season so brutal, so chaotic, and so emotionally draining that even the most loyal Tifosi are struggling to make sense of it. Lewis joined Ferrari with the intention of building something meaningful. He wasn’t looking for nostalgia, PR glory, or a retirement lap. He wanted to win. He wanted to ignite Ferrari’s title hopes, shake the foundations of the Scuderia, and bring championship glory back to the most iconic brand in motorsport. But as we sit just one race away from the season finale, Ferrari finds itself stuck in fourth place in the Constructors’ Championship, winless, inconsistent, and visibly lost. The team that once terrified the grid now struggles to escape Q1 with one of the greatest drivers in history behind the wheel. And Lewis—never one...
