F1 News: Hamilton’s Ferrari POWER Move

Video summary

F1 News heats up as Lewis Hamilton’s Ferrari influence becomes a major 2026 talking point. Is Ferrari already shaping its future around Hamilton’s feedback? 👉 Subscribe to F1 Grandstand: https://www.youtube.com/@F1Grandstand?sub_confirmation=1 Welcome back to F1 Grandstand with Tony Craig — bringing you the biggest F1 news, Formula 1 updates and F1 Live discussion from inside the paddock. 🚨 TODAY’S F1 NEWS HEADLINES: • Lewis Hamilton linked to key Ferrari 2026 design choices • Red Bull make Max Verstappen their full priority • Kimi Antonelli builds his trusted inner circle • Miami GP Preview and Predictions • Fun facts, form guide and race weekend talking points 🔥 HAMILTON’S FERRARI INFLUENCE Fred Vasseur has suggested Lewis Hamilton played an important role in Ferrari’s 2026 thinking, which immediately raises the big question: how much of Ferrari’s next era is being shaped around Hamilton? For Ferrari, this is massive. The 2026 rules reset could define the team’s future, and if Hamilton’s feedback is influencing design direction, that could have major consequences for Charles Leclerc, Ferrari’s internal balance, and the way the car behaves from day one. ⚠️ RED BULL PUT MAX FIRST Red Bull’s message around Max Verstappen’s future is clear: keeping him is the priority. That puts major pressure on the team heading into the next phase of Formula 1. If Red Bull want Verstappen locked in long-term, they need performance, stability, and a convincing 2026 project. 👀 ANTONELLI BUILDS HIS CIRCLE Kimi Antonelli is now talking about surrounding himself with people he trusts, and that matters when the spotlight is this intense. With George Russell already established at Mercedes, Antonelli needs protection, confidence and a team environment that lets him take risks without being crushed by pressure. 🏁 MIAMI GP PREVIEW Miami is one of the most unpredictable modern F1 weekends, with long straights, heavy braking zones, heat, tyre stress and Safety Car potential. The Miami International Autodrome first joined the F1 calendar in 2022, runs around the Hard Rock Stadium complex, is 5.412km long, and has produced wins for Max Verstappen and Lando Norris. Norris claimed his first F1 victory there in 2024, while Verstappen has the most Miami GP wins with two. Miami also has big strategy potential. Formula 1’s own preview notes a 67% Safety Car probability, 67% Virtual Safety Car probability, and 93 overtakes in the 2024 race — which makes this a proper opportunity for chaos, strategy swings and surprise results. 🇺🇸 CADILLAC GOES STARS AND STRIPES Cadillac have also revealed a special Miami GP livery, leaning into a patriotic stars-and-stripes theme for their home race weekend. But the reaction has been mixed. Some fans like the clean American identity, while others feel Cadillac should have gone much bolder for Miami. It raises a bigger F1 question too — are modern Formula 1 liveries becoming too safe, too dark, and too corporate? 👇 JOIN THE DEBATE: Is Ferrari building its 2026 car around Hamilton? Can Red Bull convince Verstappen to stay? Who wins the Miami Grand Prix?
