Ferrari tipped to bring major SF-26 updates for final stretch of 2026
Ferrari upgrades
Ferrari is expected to introduce a new floor at the Austin race before adding further changes in Mexico. The upgrades are aimed at protecting the team’s position during the final stretch of the season.[2]
Second place
Ferrari currently occupies second place, while Red Bull is reported to be 112 points behind. That gap gives Ferrari room for error, but a sustained Red Bull surge could still put its position under pressure.
Late-season stakes
The development push reflects the importance of maintaining momentum late in the season. Ferrari’s ability to convert improvements into points will determine whether it can secure the runner-up position without a final-round fight.
