Lewis Hamilton signals a breakthrough at Ferrari in 2026, delivering consecutive second places in Canada and Monaco, and rising to second in the championship, two points clear of George Russell.
The step follows a winless 2025 Ferrari debut, and represents his first back-to-back podiums since 2024 Hungary and Belgium during his Mercedes tenure.
Hamilton attributes the upturn to a car set-up that is, in his words, “one million times better” than last year, after targeted work on suspension and operating window.
Hamilton climbs to P2 in the standings, two points ahead of George Russell.
He says Ferrari always had the tools, but understanding how to deploy them consistently has taken time and process discipline.
Team principal Fred Vasseur strengthens the channel between driver and engineers, sharpening feedback loops and turning Hamilton’s direction into actionable set-up changes weekend to weekend.
Set-up described as ‘one million times better’ than in 2025.
The gains are visible across out-lap prep, ride control, and race stint balance, reducing the car’s sensitivity to conditions and improving tyre management.
That progress translated into second place in Canada and at the Monaco Grand Prix, underpinning a points run that restores momentum and confidence.
Vasseur’s communication drive tightens the Hamilton–engineer link.
Ferrari still trails the outright benchmark on raw pace, so execution and correlation remain central to closing margins over longer stints and in variable conditions.
Red Bull continues to shape the reference, ensuring any Ferrari misstep is punished, with the battle at the front tightening race by race.
For Hamilton, the immediate objective is repetition. Consolidate the operating window, refine upgrades, and turn podium security into regular win contention as the calendar intensifies.
Back-to-back P2 finishes mark Hamilton’s strongest Ferrari form to date.
If Ferrari preserves this trajectory, his title bid becomes credible rather than circumstantial, built on process rather than peaks.
