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

Ferrari is set to introduce its fourth and most significant aerodynamic upgrade package of the 2026 Formula 1 season at the United States Grand Prix at Circuit of the Americas. The upgrade, reported on October 18, 2026, will affect the floor, sidepods, and upper bodywork of the SF-26, though Ferrari has chosen not to radically alter its sidepod aerodynamic concept, unlike rivals McLaren and Mercedes. This Austin package represents the final major development update planned for the SF-26, as Ferrari's focus at Maranello has largely shifted to developing next year's car.
