Lewis Hamilton and his race engineer from Ferrari, Riccardo Adami, will continue their collaboration in 2026, despite the tensions that arose in 2025. In his debut season with Ferrari, the seven-time world champion faced difficulties, failing to reach the podium for the first time since 2007.
The main source of dissatisfaction was the radio communications between Hamilton and Adami, which were audible to viewers during the races. There were rumors about a possible replacement of the engineer; however, after a positive closed meeting, it was decided to continue their joint work.
In 2026, new regulations will be introduced, including a complex battery system, making the interaction between the driver and engineer crucial. Hamilton plans to leverage these changes to improve Ferrari's performance and enhance his chances of success on the track.
