As the 2026 Formula 1 season heads toward its thrilling conclusion, Lewis Hamilton has firmly stated that the Scuderia's primary objective should remain locked on securing second place in the Constructors' Championship rather than prematurely shifting development focus to the following year.
The legendary Italian outfit has experienced a wave of intense media scrutiny and fierce intra-team battles over the recent triple-header. Despite on-track performance needing steady refinement, the seven-time world champion emphasized that teamwork and factory morale must take precedence to cement their runner-up status in the standings.
Currently sitting comfortably in second place with 510 points, the Maranello squad holds a crucial 95-point advantage over chasing rival Red Bull Racing. While champions Mercedes have comfortably sealed the title with 652 points, maintaining the P2 position remains vital for everyone back at the factory.
"We have to work to make sure we hold on to second in the Constructors' Championship, because that impacts everyone back in the factory," Hamilton explained when discussing the team's remaining targets for the year. "They really deserve that position. So we've got to work hard at these next races for sure."
Looking ahead at technical deficiencies, the British racing icon pointed out that power unit output is the single most important area that requires immediate improvement to mount a genuine title challenge in the near future, despite praising the aerodynamic innovations built into their current chassis design.
