Ferrari to Push F1 2026 Upgrades Until Season End

Ferrari will 'push until the end' of the 2026 Formula 1 season with car upgrades, team principal Fred Vasseur confirmed, as he shrugged off suggestions the team will have to slow down its development because of cost cap limitations. Ferrari has rolled out an impressive number of incremental upgrades to its 2026 challenger, the SF-26, which have kept the squad in second place in the constructors' championship and allowed Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc to clinch a grand prix win each thus far. That upgrade push will continue at its home race this weekend in Monza, where Ferrari is expected to introduce smaller aerodynamic improvements alongside its second engine update following the latest ADUO ranking.

Speaking exclusively to Autosport, Ferrari chief Vasseur has revealed the Scuderia will continue its relentless upgrade push, and it has no issues with the cost cap. 'The strategy is that we will continue to push until the end,' Vasseur said. 'We have a plan. We have no issue with the cost cap, we are following the plan and will continue like this.' While Ferrari, McLaren and Red Bull have all rolled out significant updates, Mercedes has been lagging behind, with its next major package coming at October's Bahrain Grand Prix in Malaysia, and it has seen its rival teams close the gap as a result in recent weeks and months.
