My day inside Ferrari’s garage watching the SF-26

Ferrari unveiled their SF-26, the new car for the 2026 season, at Fiorano, with Lewis Hamilton completing its inaugural laps. In a bold move on launch day, and under overhauled chassis and power unit regulations, Hamilton christened the machine during a 15km demonstration run. The event, attended by the passionate Tifosi and team VIPs, saw a palpable blend of excitement and tension. Hamilton expressed his thrill at reconnecting with the team and the sport's passion. Charles Leclerc also took the wheel for initial laps. While no performance insights could be gleaned, the successful first outing instilled confidence in the new car and ignited hope among Ferrari's loyal fanbase for the season ahead.
