Hamilton, details matter: this is how he examines his Ferrari
Lewis Hamilton spends hours in the Silverstone garage with the SF-26, hands in the dough and a clinical eye: what the seven-time champion is looking for and why it matters for Ferrari and the British GP.
Lewis Hamilton ha passato ore nella garage di Silverstone con la Ferrari SF-26, tastando ogni dettaglio della monoposto. The former Mercedes driver literally got his hands on the SF-26, checking the thickness of the wing profiles, the layout of the radiators and the stiffness of the suspensions. The session took place two days before the start of the British GP, when the Silverstone track was preparing to host the twelfth round of the 2025 world championship.
Sources on the track reported that Hamilton worked side by side with the Maranello engineers, exchanging observations on aerodynamics and setup, without limiting himself to the role of observer. In particular, the Briton paid attention to the thermal management of the brakes and the angles of attack of the rear wings, two critical parameters for performance on a circuit like Silverstone, where violent braking and high speeds require absolute precision. Hamilton's choice to immerse himself in the SF-26 comes after months of rumors about a possible future role at Ferrari.
