In 2025, Lewis Hamilton began a bold new chapter in his illustrious Formula 1 career by leaving Mercedes, with whom he had enjoyed more than a decade of success, to join Ferrari. This generated enormous expectations, with many hoping that the seven-time world champion could secure a record-breaking eighth title with Ferrari. However, as the 2026 Formula 1 season approaches, there are growing signs that Hamilton’s situation at Ferrari may finally be improving. “Last year, we had a much worse start to testing,” Hamilton explained. Ferrari engineers also appeared unconcerned, allowing Hamilton to resume his run without any visible issues.
