Emerson Fittipaldi identifies crucial reason for Lewis Hamilton F1 resurgence

Two-time F1 World Champion Emerson Fittipaldi has highlighted the 2026 regulation overhaul and new, smaller car design as a crucial but overlooked factor in Lewis Hamilton's resurgence at Ferrari. Hamilton currently sits second in the 2026 Drivers' Championship with 169 points, behind Andrea Kimi Antonelli's 219, having claimed his first Ferrari victory in Barcelona along with five podiums. Fittipaldi noted that the new machinery has played a significant role in Hamilton rediscovering his form after a difficult debut season with the Italian team.
