2026 Season

Ferrari enters the 2026 season after finishing fourth in the 2025 Constructors' Championship, a result that fell short of expectations for a team that had started the year aiming to establish itself as a regular contender at the front. From a sporting perspective, however, Maranello has opted for continuity: Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton remain the team's race drivers for 2026, with no changes to the line-up compared with 2025. The management structure also retains its main reference points, with Frédéric Vasseur confirmed as Team Principal and General Manager. On the technical side, Loic Serra remains a key figure in the chassis department, Enrico Gualtieri continues as Technical Director Power Unit, while Jerome d'Ambrosio serves as Deputy Team Principal. After a 2025 season that fell short of its original ambitions, Ferrari's expectations for 2026 remain high, with the new regulatory cycle seen in Maranello as a major opportunity to return to the very top.

Car

The SF-26 is the first Ferrari of a new regulatory cycle that introduces movable front aerodynamics to Formula 1 and gives hybrid energy a much more significant role within the power unit.

History

The origins and the legend of Enzo Ferrari

Scuderia Ferrari was founded by Enzo Ferrari in 1929 as Alfa Romeo's racing division before becoming an independent manufacturer in 1947. It is the only team to have competed in every Formula 1 World Championship season since 1950. Ferrari made its official World Championship debut at the Monaco Grand Prix on May 21, 1950, with the 125 F1. The philosophy of the "Drake", as Enzo Ferrari was known, placed the engine above aerodynamics and is often summed up by the famous quote "aerodynamics are for people who can't build engines". That philosophy helped shape the team's technical identity for decades.

The 1950s and 1960s: the pioneering era and the first titles

On July 14, 1951, José Froilán González claimed Ferrari's first Formula 1 World Championship victory at Silverstone, defeating the Alfa Romeo 159s. The result symbolised a technological changing of the guard between the supercharged engines of the pre-war era and Ferrari's new naturally aspirated power units. Under the technical direction of Aurelio Lampredi, Alberto Ascari dominated the 1952 and 1953 seasons with the Ferrari 500 F2, establishing a record of nine consecutive World Championship victories.

The decade continued with championship successes for Juan Manuel Fangio in 1956 and Mike Hawthorn in 1958, the latter becoming the first British Formula 1 World Champion. During the 1960s, Ferrari embraced major technical innovations such as the rear-engined layout, most famously with the 1961 156 "Sharknose". The team won titles with Phil Hill and later John Surtees in 1964, the only driver in history to become World Champion on both two and four wheels.

The 1970s and 1980s: Lauda's dominance and the 1980 crisis

After a period of decline, the appointment of Luca Cordero di Montezemolo as Sporting Director and the arrival of Niki Lauda returned Ferrari to the top. With the "312 T" series of cars designed by Mauro Forghieri, the Scuderia won the Drivers' Championships in 1975 and 1977 with Lauda and again in 1979 with Jody Scheckter, as well as four Constructors' titles.

Historical note: Ferrari's worst season statistically remains 1980, when the technically outdated 312 T5 struggled against the new generation of ground-effect cars and left the team 10th in the Constructors' Championship.

The 1980s were marked by the transition to turbocharged engines and by the tragedy of Gilles Villeneuve's death in 1982. Despite those difficult circumstances, Ferrari won the Constructors' Championships in both 1982 and 1983, demonstrating its ability to remain technically competitive through one of the most challenging periods in its history.

Rebuilding and the Golden Era (1996-2004)

After a 21-year wait for a Drivers' Championship, Ferrari began the most successful restructuring process in its history during the mid-1990s. Under Montezemolo's presidency, the so-called "Dream Team" was assembled around Jean Todt in sporting management, Ross Brawn in strategy, Rory Byrne in design and Michael Schumacher behind the wheel.

The partnership produced an unprecedented period of dominance. Between 1999 and 2004, Ferrari won six consecutive Constructors' Championships and five consecutive Drivers' titles with Schumacher. The era also delivered exceptional standards of reliability and performance, with the F2002 and F2004 widely regarded as two of the finest Formula 1 cars ever built.

From Räikkönen's title to the hybrid era (2007-2023)

In 2007, Kimi Räikkönen claimed Ferrari's most recent Drivers' Championship after a remarkable comeback over the final races of the season. In 2008, the Scuderia secured its 16th and most recent Constructors' Championship. The following years were defined by the title challenges of Fernando Alonso from 2010 to 2014 and Sebastian Vettel from 2015 to 2020, both of whom came close to championship success but were ultimately defeated by dominant technical cycles from Red Bull and Mercedes.

The introduction of turbo-hybrid engines in 2014 exposed initial weaknesses in Ferrari's power unit programme, which were progressively reduced between 2017 and 2019. Following the difficult 2020 season, the team rebuilt around Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz, returning to winning form in 2022 with the F1-75.

2024-2025: transition and new horizons

The 2024 season was one of strong competitiveness under the leadership of Frédéric Vasseur. Ferrari claimed five victories, including Leclerc's historic home win in Monaco and victory at Monza, finishing second in the Constructors' Championship with 652 points.

Despite ending 2025 without a Grand Prix victory and finishing fourth in the Constructors' Championship with 398 points, the season was defined both structurally and in the media by the arrival of Lewis Hamilton at Maranello. The signing of the seven-time World Champion represented one of the most significant driver moves of the modern Formula 1 era, with Ferrari aiming to return the World Championship to Maranello as the sport entered the major 2026 regulatory reset.
