Lewis Hamilton credits Ferrari ‘collaboration’ for 2026 F1 success

Lewis Hamilton is enjoying a strong 2026 F1 season with Ferrari, sitting second in the drivers' championship, 50 points behind leader Andrea Kimi Antonelli, after 11 rounds. The 41-year-old Briton has secured five podiums, including his first win for Ferrari at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. Speaking ahead of the Dutch Grand Prix at Zandvoort, Hamilton attributed his improved performances — a stark contrast to his difficult 2025 debut season — to a collaborative effort with the team involving significant engineering and setup changes to the SF-26.
