The start of the F1 2026 season has already given Formula 1 fans something fascinating to watch — Lewis looking comfortable again. For anyone who followed Lewis closely during the previous generation of ground-effect Formula 1 cars, that sentence alone feels significant. The last few seasons were frustrating at times. The cars didn’t always respond the way Lewis likes. Balance issues, heavy downforce dependency, and unpredictable handling characteristics often worked against his natural driving style. But the new era of Formula 1 may be changing that story. After finishing fourth at the Australian Grand Prix, Lewis walked away from the opening race weekend of the F1 2026 season with genuine positives. The Ferrari looked competitive, the pace was there, and perhaps most importantly, Lewis looked far more comfortable behind the wheel. And according to former Formula 1 driver and veteran analyst Martin Brundle, the new generation of F1 cars could be exactly what Lewis needs.
