Hamilton to get new Ferrari race engineer for 2026 season

Riccardo Adami, Lewis Hamilton's race engineer for the 2025 Formula 1 season, has transitioned to a new role within the Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy, ending his stint with the seven-time World Champion after just one campaign. Ferrari confirmed Adami will now serve as the Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy and Test Previous Cars Manager, focusing on developing future talent. This change follows a challenging first season for Hamilton at Ferrari, reportedly marked by tense radio exchanges with Adami. Adami previously engineered Carlos Sainz and notably Sebastian Vettel during his extensive career. Ferrari will announce Hamilton's new race engineer for car #44 in due course, signaling a fresh start for the British driver's engineering setup.
