Race history

How Scuderia Ferrari got here

Ferrari is the only team to have entered every Formula 1 season since the championship began in 1950, and the cars still come out of the same factory in Maranello. Power unit, gearbox and most of the chassis are built behind the same gates.

The SF-26 has been quickest in cool conditions all season, which is why Ferrari looks strongest in early-morning qualifying. Turning that into race pace has been the project: the team runs longer Friday simulations than anyone else, using both drivers on different fuel loads to build a picture of how the tyres behave after twenty laps.

Leclerc leads the qualifying programme while Hamilton works on race stints and tyre management. When the two agree on a set-up direction, Ferrari usually converts it — deciding between two close calls has been the harder part.
