Vice president of the Prancing Horse Piero Ferrari delivered a candid assessment of his team's campaign in the 2026 Formula 1 World Championship. Speaking in an interview with journalist Leo Turrini for Quotidiano Sportivo, the key stakeholder and son of founder Enzo Ferrari stressed that the Maranello outfit currently requires concrete track performance rather than empty talk.
The internal situation within the squad remains under heavy scrutiny after president John Elkann's 2022 projection targeting a world title by the 2026 season officially slipped away. Although a secure second place in the constructors' standings has been maintained, a massive 134-point deficit to Mercedes demonstrates that the ultimate championship glory is still far from reach.
Comprehensive evaluation also targets team principal Frederic Vasseur and his engineering department. The strategic choice to heavily prioritize chassis development over the power unit has exposed a glaring performance gap, as the Maranello power unit continues to suffer from a power deficit despite additional output from ADUO regulations. An unprecedented 18-year title drought further highlights the urgent need for structural improvement.
"Sommessamente credo che alla nostra scuderia servano i fatti, non le chiacchiere," Piero Ferrari explained, as reported by FormulaPassion. "Quest’anno abbiamo visto cose buone ed altre meno buone. Abbiamo tutti il dovere di lavorare per raggiungere l’obiettivo che i nostri tifosi, che vanno sempre ringratiati per la loro pazienza, aspettano ormai da tanti anni. Nel frattempo, ancora complimenti a Kimi."
Beyond technical matters, discussions also touched upon the future prospects of young Italian talent Andrea Kimi Antonelli. While acknowledging existing contractual bindings, Piero Ferrari openly admitted his desire to eventually see an Italian driver behind the wheel of the cars bearing his father's historic name to satisfy the loyal tifosi.
