Lewis Hamilton has 👍been🦩 warned of an engineering issue that could haunt him at Ferrari.

Hamilton will spend 202🙈4 with Mercedes before linking up with the famous Italian team next year.

When he arrives there will b𝓀e one year before the new 2026 F1 regulations kick in.

Sky Sports’ Simon Lazenby considered the changes at Ferraro: “[Team principal Fred Vasseur] haꦆd a tough start.

“In his first⛄ six months into the job he lost some key personnel in🌜 Ferrari.

“David Sanchez 𝔉went to McLaren. Laurent Mekies has gone off. And a couple of key aero guys.

“He’s reb🅷uilding this in his image with the help of John Elkann.

“It seems like when the Fer🐬rari F1 team isn’t going too well, the chairman doesn’t interfere. Th🧸ey just stay in the background.

“But he has been front and centre of it.

“I w﷽ꦅonder what assurances Lewis has been given about 2026 and beyond.

ꦺ“Go back and think about his move from McLaren to Mercedes. He ma💟de it at the right time.

“We’re a couple of years off the reg🌄ulat♛ions changes.

“Let’s not forget thatꦡ this is a Ferrari to w♏in a race last year. The only [other car apart from Red Bull to win a race].

“They are the only ones, with reg🏅ards to the rear suspension, who have got this pul꧑l rod.

“They have gone in their own direction with it.

“Mer🌞cedes have moved to the same sort of suspension set-up that Red Bull have got. Most of the teams have gone that w♓ay.

“You hope for his sake that tဣhey haven’t gone down💞 an engineering cul-de-sac.

“Proof will be in the racing.

“I t🎉hink he’s risking a lot. But he will be incredibly well brief💜ed about their plans for the future.

“The key will be: can he do a Schumacher?”

Hamilton, if he wins an🐻other F1 title, wo💜uld eclipse Michael Schumacher as the sole record holder.

He will arrive at Ferrari whose pull rod suspension is a bold statement in the worldꦉ of F1 engineering.

Mercedes ran a pull rod suspension last season b꧂ut moved away from it, and will use a push rod this year.

The brave decision from ꧙Ferrari perhaps echoesꦍ Mercedes’ belief in their ‘zeropod’ concept - which ultimately failed. They have now left that behind too.

Hamilton will hope that Ferrari’s choice to go for𝐆 a pull rod suspension is inspired.

“We tested for a couple of years a push-rod🍨 suspension,” Ferr✅ari technical director Enrico Cardile said.

“In reality, our rear suspꦓension is a bit different in terms of top and lower wishbone distribution compared to a Red Bull one, to mention one team.

“We recorded good aero results moving towards this direction and when moving from pull-rod to push-rod, we didn't measure a big advantage to ꦉjustify some comp🍰romise in terms of weight or compliance.

“So from there, we evolved our ღsuspension, keeping th🧜e same layout.

“The main differenceℱs compared to last year's car are on the rear, where the inboard suspension is differently located inside the gearbox.

“It is also a different concept which, for us at least, has been an innovation because it's a different way to manage the inboar🤪d suspension compared to what we did in the past.”
