What Ferrari Just CHANGED for Hamilton After Studying Red Bull’s Sidepods SHOOK Everyone! Ferrari’s final major SF-26 upgrade has arrived for Austin, and Lewis Hamilton could be at the centre of a major shift. After studying Red Bull’s aggressive sidepod concept, Ferrari has reportedly chosen its own route: revised sidepods, radiator inlets, engine cover bodywork, and a new floor designed to improve balance, efficiency, and rear-tyre control. But this is not simply about adding downforce. Ferrari needs a car that gives Hamilton more consistent performance across a race stint, particularly as Mercedes attempts to solve the balance issues created by its own upgraded package. Can Ferrari’s Austin changes give Hamilton the tool he needs to pressure Mercedes? Or will the missing diffuser detail and Mercedes’ revised front wing change the story again?
