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.

After almost reaching the end of a difficult first season with the Scuderia in 2025, the seven-time world champion is pushing hard behind the scenes to ensure Ferrari are ready when the biggest rule overhaul in modern F1 history arrives.

His move from Mercedes to Ferrari was driven by the dream of becoming the man to bring the prancing horse back to championship-winning form — something no driver has done since 2007. But after a season of inconsistency and frustration, Lewis now believes that 2026 could mark a turning point — both for him and for Ferrari. A Frustrating Start To The Ferrari Chapter When Lewis joined Ferrari, he declared that Maranello had “every ingredient” needed to win again. The statement reflected the optimism of a fresh start — a...

Ferrari’s 2025 Formula 1 campaign has been a rollercoaster ride of potential and frustration. While the legendary Italian team has shown flashes of competitiveness, inconsistency and recurring technical issues have held them back. At the heart of the matter now is the SF-25’s steering and suspension setup, which has drawn criticism from both of its star drivers — Lewis and Charles Leclerc. With the second half of the season fast approaching, Ferrari is scrambling to bring performance upgrades to the SF-25, hoping to salvage race-winning form. But as Lewis strongly warns, the team cannot afford to carry over these limitations into the 2026 car. Steering Complaints Date Back To Early In The Season It turns out Ferrari's steering problems aren't new. Charles Leclerc first raised concerns about the SF-25’s steering feel all the way back at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix in April. At that time, his complaint was relatively low-key — a passing comment in the post-race cooldown room. Bu...
