What Ferrari's changing with its biggest F1 upgrade of 2026

Ferrari is preparing its largest aerodynamic package of the season for the upcoming event at Austin. The modifications will touch the floor, upper bodywork, and sidepods of the SF-26, focusing heavily on drag reduction rather than shifting to a totally new aerodynamic philosophy like some competitors have attempted.

This upcoming specification will also feature adjusted cooling louvres, with additional thermal configurations anticipated for the subsequent race in Mexico. During wind tunnel testing, engineers explored various layout concepts, including ideas inspired by Red Bull's approach to floor stays, while attention in Maranello turns increasingly toward designing next year's car.
