Entering the intense phase of the 2026 Formula One season, Fred Vasseur has made it clear that Scuderia Ferrari carries a major mission to maintain their positive momentum as the championship moves to the American continent. Following demanding races in Sepang and Singapore, the iconic Italian squad faced critical questions regarding their tactical decisions on the pit wall. Although the team principal showed frustration in Singapore, he candidly admitted to shortcomings, particularly concerning the missed pit stop opportunity for Lewis Hamilton during the night race at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
Despite those strategic debates, statistical records show that Maranello's finest managed to secure a solid 66 championship points across the last two rounds. The competitive pace of the SF-26 machinery proved their strength at the sharp end of the grid, placing Ferrari just behind Red Bull Racing, which collected 69 points thanks to dominant victories by Max Verstappen. This consistent points haul serves as a massive morale boost for the team as they tackle the final stretch of the global racing calendar.
Attention is now firmly fixed on the upcoming grand prix at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, renowned for its complex layout and high engineering demands. Assessing the upcoming challenge, the French team boss highlighted that the circuit's diverse corner profiles will thoroughly test vehicle setups. «After experiencing two encouraging race weekends in Asia where we scored good points, we are now moving to the American side and starting with the race in Austin. The Circuit of the Americas is one of the trickiest tracks in the championship calendar because it encompasses many different corner types,» Vasseur stated.
Looking ahead to the racing action in Texas, high optimism fills the camp of motorsport's oldest constructor. Thorough evaluations have taken place behind the scenes to ensure operational mistakes that could compromise track position are strictly avoided. Extensive hard work in refining technical packages is expected to unlock the maximum potential of the car in front of passionate American supporters.
«We have worked hard to achieve the progress of the recent races, and this weekend we want to show another good performance in all areas of the team. We look forward to heading out in front of our enthusiastic fans from America and getting the best out of the SF-26,» Vasseur concluded ahead of the opening practice sessions.
