Lewis Hamilton has warned his F1 rivals that he is planning to be “stronger than ever” in 2026 after an exhaustive training programme over the winter.
Hamilton’s dream move to Ferrari turned into a nightmare in 2025, with the seven-time championfailing to score a podium for the first time in his career as he branded himself “useless” whilst also suffering the ignominy of three straight Q1 exits to finish off the season.
However, in pre-season testing, the SF-26 machine proved a step forward with Hamilton enjoying driving the machine, with the new regulations tilted more towards his driving style than the old ground effects cars.
A week before the season-opening Australian GP, Hamilton took to social media to send a warning to his fellow 21 drivers.
