Ferrari’s optimism
There Ferrari comes to the 2026 World Cup with the ambition to best interpret the regulatory revolution and – after almost 20 years – return to winning. The date, set in 2022 by president John Elkann, remained in the minds of the entire team, who worked hard in the winter, also showing interesting solutions to the rear of the SF-26. Solutions that indicate a search for innovation and creativity, things that have only been seen intermittently in recent years.
2026 is here and will start this weekend with the Melbourne event. Frederic Vasseur, this time, avoided proclamations, choosing a low profile. Only the track will speak, and it is an approach very welcome to the vice president Piero Ferrari.
The words of Piero Ferrari
In an interview with Corriere dello Sport edited by Fulvio Solms, Ferrari highlights the work done on the SF-26: “The 2025 machine was born with structural problems, difficult to cure. The season dragged on unsatisfactorily, and development was abandoned early. But it was a smart decision because there was a completely new car to create. The team did a great job, the SF-26 was built on time and I am confident in the quality. I see it on all levels“.
“The impressions obtained from the tests are very positive: everyone moved knowing exactly what to do and how, I saw a very well coordinated work“, concluded Ferrari.
