Lewis Hamilton disagrees with Charles Leclerc about Ferrari SF-26 after ‘unsatisfactory’ Baku blow

Lewis Hamilton expressed his disagreement with Charles Leclerc regarding the setup of the Ferrari SF-26 during the 2026 Azerbaijan Grand Prix. Despite Leclerc qualifying in P2, he struggled with race pace, ultimately finishing in P4, while Hamilton qualified P6 after switching to a different bargeboard configuration that he felt provided better stability.

The race saw Hamilton's frustrations with the car's handling lead him to abandon the low-drag bargeboards in favour of a more stable three-part version. However, this change did not yield the desired results, as Hamilton was unable to outperform Leclerc, who maintained a faster pace throughout the race, finishing significantly ahead.
