FERRARI CHANGES LOOM: FRED VASSEUR MAY REPLACE LEWIS HAMILTON’S RACE ENGINEER FOR 2026 SEASON
After a sixth-place finish in 2025, Lewis Hamilton may see crew changes as Vasseur aims to unlock the Brit's speed for Ferrari.
Ferrari's boss, Fred Vasseur, isn't ruling anything out when it comes to changes for Lewis Hamilton in 2026, especially after Hamilton's tough start with the F1 team.
The Brit had a rough 2025 season with Ferrari, finishing sixth in the Driver's Championship, almost 100 points behind teammate Charles Leclerc.
Besides a sprint win in China, Hamilton didn't crack the top three all year, making him one of only a few Ferrari drivers to do so.
A lot of Hamilton's problems came from the SF-25 car, which kept Leclerc from winning and landed Ferrari fourth in the Constructors' Championship.
There were also times when Hamilton seemed to be in heated discussions with his race engineer, Riccardo Adami.
Vasseur told Corriere Della Sera that he wants to make sure Hamilton gets more out of next year.
"We have to get better at working together," he said. He needs to try and get more from the car. Every little thing matters.
It's also about understanding each other better. We know what Lewis needs and wants better on the other side of the garage [Leclerc]. I need to understand what he wants too.
Vasseur didn't say if this meant moving Adami to a different job and giving Hamilton a new race engineer. He just said, We're thinking about all the choices.
Vasseur said he didn't realize how hard Hamilton's switch from Mercedes to Ferrari would be. Changing teams always brings challenges, like dealing with a new race engineer, which was a strong relationship for Hamilton with Peter Bonnington at Mercedes.
Vasseur admitted that there were other things he downplayed when Hamilton moved to Ferrari, and he thinks those things cost Hamilton better spots in qualifying and the race.
"I didn't realize how big of a change it was," he said. He'd been with Mercedes for 20 years.
Everything was different for him: the culture, how they do things, the software, the parts, and the people. If you're not on top of things in every area, it costs you time.
The difference between fifth and 15th place this year was tiny.
Hamilton will be happy to hear Vasseur say that, since he said earlier in the season that he didn't realize how many big changes he'd have to deal with.
EXPERT ANALYSIS: RED BULL PROMOTES ISACK HADJAR AS MAX VERSTAPPEN DOUBTS TEAM STRATEGY FOR 2026
Max Verstappen remains vocal over Liam Lawson’s exit as Isack Hadjar is confirmed for Red Bull’s "cursed" second seat in 2026.
Max Verstappen is still not happy about Liam Lawson getting benched so quickly. Also, people are saying Red Bull has a big choice to make about who drives their second car. Here's the latest:
Verstappen Unhappy with Lawson Decision
After Sergio Perez left, Lawson became Verstappen's teammate at Red Bull. But after only two race weekends, he was out.
Lawson went back to Racing Bulls for the Japanese GP. Verstappen wasn't thrilled then, and he's still not happy about it now.
Red Bull's Second Car Problem
Ever since Daniel Ricciardo left in 2018, Red Bull hasn't found a driver who can reliably do well in the second car.
Yuki Tsunoda struggled after replacing Lawson. Then he became a test/reserve driver after the 2025 season. Isack Hadjar is up next.
Karun Chandhok, a former F1 driver and now an analyst for Sky, thinks Red Bull has a big choice to make. If they want to win both titles again, Chandhok says they need a second car that can actually compete.
Ferrari's Big Signing a Mistake?
Ferrari tried to get Adrian Newey, a key guy from Verstappen and Red Bull's success, but he picked Aston Martin instead.
Ferrari did sign Lewis Hamilton, but the seven-time world champion didn't do so great in 2025.
Did Ferrari pick the wrong F1 star? Riccardo Patrese, who won six races, wasn't saying much when asked about it.
Williams Shows Off 2026 Test Colours
Williams is the first team to show what their cars will look like for the first F1 2026 pre-season test.
With new rules for cars and engines, the new cars will be on the track for the first time in January for a private test in Barcelona.
The Williams FW48 will have its Flow State colours.
Mercedes Shares Sound of 2026 Engine
Mercedes did what Honda did and put the sound of their new engine on social media.
People are very curious about the Mercedes engine because it will be in the McLaren, Williams, and Alpine cars, plus the Mercedes team cars.
FERRARI 2026 LAUNCH: LEWIS HAMILTON AND CHARLES LECLERC SET FOR AGGRESSIVE JANUARY 23 CAR DEBUT
Ferrari confirms a January 23 launch for their 2026 car. Hamilton and Leclerc will debut the "Spec A" design at Fiorano.
Ferrari just dropped their plan for launching their 2026 F1 car.
The team will show off their 2026 car on January 23rd, followed by a quick test run at their Fiorano track.
Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc are set to debut the still-unnamed 2026 F1 car three days before the first private test at Barcelona, which kicks off on January 26th.
"It's going to be tight, since we're wrapping up the car assembly the day before the launch," Ferrari team boss Fred Vasseur said at the yearly press thing in Maranello.
The launch is on January 23rd in Maranello, which means we will finish the car on the 22nd. It's a push, but everyone else is doing the same.”
Ferrari will kick off testing with a simple car design, aiming to log as many miles as possible during the Barcelona test before chasing speed.
Vasseur thinks most teams will do the same, saying, “I think everyone will. The main thing is to get those miles in. It's not about going fast right away, but more about checking that the car's tech is sound in terms of how it holds up. Speed comes later. So, I figure everyone will roll into Barcelona with a basic version of their car.
Since we will have nine test days, unlike the three we had for the last few seasons, it means it’s a completely different program. The first goal this season is to ensure things are solid.
Back when the power units changed in 2014, a bunch of cars didn't finish races early on. This means that the first thing to do in Barcelona is to put miles on the car, figure out how reliable it is, and spot any areas that need work. Because if you spot something in Bahrain, there will be little time to react for Australia.”
2026 marks the start of new rules for F1, which is a huge deal for Ferrari after they dropped from second to fourth place in the standings during a rough, winless 2025 season.
