The entire Formula 1 paddock is in agreement that Ferrari are only one thing away from becoming ‘unbeatable’. 

Ferrari endured a season to forget in 2025 as they finished fourth behind rivals Red Bull, Mercedes and McLaren. 

In addition, the arrival of Lewis Hamilton did not have the desired impact, with the Brit struggling to adapt to the SF-25, finishing the campaign 86 points behind Charles Leclerc.

However, 2026 has been a breath of fresh air for the Scuderia, with Hamilton securing his first win for the team in Barcelona last weekend.

Looking ahead, Ferrari are expected to mount a challenge for the title as they look to displace Mercedes, who have been the dominant force so far this year.

F1 paddock believes Ferrari have the ‘best chassis’ and the ‘best aero’

Speaking on a recent TikTok video, Sky Sports F1 reporter Rachel Brookes claimed that there is a ‘common consensus’ in the paddock that Ferrari have the ‘best chassis’ and the ‘best aero’. 

It has been noted that if Ferrari manage to gain more power in their engine through ADUO, the SF-26 could become ‘unbeatable’.

Brookes said: “Ferrari have a genuine chance this year now; they’ve got two additional upgrade opportunities because their engine is so far behind the best, which is the Red Bull. They have two opportunities to improve that.

“Now, their car at the moment, common consensus, general consensus up and down the paddock is that they have the best chassis, best aero, through the corners they are unbeatable.

“If they can get that straight-line speed, if they can get that extra bit of power they need on the straights, they will be unbeatable.”

How badly will Toto Wolff regret Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari if Mercedes do not win the 2026 title?

Despite the common consensus in the F1 paddock, Ferrari have been warned that Mercedes will also get an opportunity to upgrade their engine, along with McLaren, who have a reputation of bringing stellar improvements.

Brookes continued: “And Lewis genuinely has a chance at an eighth world title and his first for Ferrari.

“Mercedes also have an opportunity to improve theirs because they’re not the quickest, according to the latest data from the FIA. McLaren run a Mercedes engine, and they are the development kings.

“We have an insanely good season coming up; it’s going to be incredible for the rest of this year.

“Right now, though, the honours, the plaudits, the praise, belong to Lewis and rightly so. I’m so happy for him. I hope the run continues for him, but I also hope this season continues being utterly brilliant.”
