Lewis H🅰amilton has bee🎀n warned of an engineering issue that could haunt him at Ferrari.

Hamilton will spend 2024 with Mercedes before l𝓰inking up with the famous Italian team next year.

When he arrives there will be one year before the new 2026 F1 regulations ꦉkick in.

S♔ky Sports’ Simon Lazenby considered the changes at Ferraro: “[Team principal Fred Vasseur] had a tough start.

“In his first six months into the job he lost sꦛome key personnel in Ferrari.

“David Sanchez went to McLaren. Laurent Mekies has gone off. And a couple of key aero guys✱.

“He’s rebui✅lding this in his image with the help of John Elkann🌸.

“It seems like when the Ferrari F1 team isn’t going too well, the chairman doesn💟’t interfere. They just stay in the background.

“But he has been front and centre of it.

“I wonder what assurances Lewis has been give🍸n about 2026 and beyond.

“Go back and ꦏthink about his move from෴ McLaren to Mercedes. He made it at the right time.

“We’re a couple of years off the regulations 💜changes.

“Let’s not forget that this is a Ferrari to w🍬in a race last year. The only [other car apart from Red Bull to win a race].

♛“They are the only ones, with🐼 regards to the rear suspension, who have got this pull rod.

“They have gone in their own direction with it.

“Mercedes have moved to the same sort of suspension set-up that Red Bull have got. 🐬Most of the teams h🧸ave gone that way.

“You hope for his sake that they haven’t gone down an e𝓰ngineering c🌌ul-de-sac.

“Proof will be in the racing.

“I think෴ he’s risking a lot. But he wil🐎l be incredibly well briefed about their plans for the future.

“The key will be: can he do a Schumacher?”

Hamilt♈on, if he wins another F1 title, would eclipse Michael Schumacher as the sole record holder𝄹.

He will arrive at Ferrari whose pull rod suspension is a ๊bold statement in the world of F1 engineering.

Mercedes ran a pull rod suspension las💟t season but moved away from it, and will use a push rod this year.

The brave decision from Ferrari perhaps echoes Mercedes’ belief in their ‘zeropod’ concept - which ulti💮mately failed. They have now left that behind too.

Hamilto🦂n will hope that Ferrari’s choice to go for a pull rod suspension is inspired.

“We tested for a couple of years a push-rod suspension,” Ferrari technical director Enri🍎co Cardile said.

“In reality, our rear suspension is a bit different in terms of top and lower wishbone distribution compared to a Red Bull 🏅one, to mention one team.

“We recorded good aero results moving to𓆉wards this direction and when moving from pull-rod to push-rod, we didn't measure a big advantage to justify some compromise in terms of weight or compliance.

“So from there, we evolved 𒀰our suspension, keeping the same layout.

“The main differꦇences compared to last year's car are on 𝄹the rear, where the inboard suspension is differently located inside the gearbox.

“It is also a different concept which, for us at least, has been an innovation because it's a different way to manage𝓀 the inboard suspension compared to what we did in the past.”
