According to Sky Sports F1's Martin Brundle, Ferrari is poised to make a substantial improvement in performance at the upcoming Miami Grand Prix, potentially closing the gap with Mercedes in the 2026 season. Brundle views the Miami Grand Prix as a relaunch of the season following the April break, with teams having had ample time to refine their cars. Mercedes currently leads the pack, having won all three races so far, with Ferrari and its drivers, Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton, trailing closely behind.
Brundle believes Hamilton, who has expressed his enjoyment of the current cars, will play a crucial role in Ferrari's pursuit of victory, stating that Hamilton is still capable of securing wins if given the opportunity. The season, with 19 races remaining, is expected to be highly competitive, with Brundle suggesting that the top four teams have a realistic chance of claiming the world championship.
