Lewis Hamilton has been ൲warned of an engineering issue that could haunt him at Ferrari.

Hamilton will spend 2024ꦑ with Mercedes before linking up with the f🧸amous Italian team next year.

When he arrives there will be one year before the new 𒅌2026 F1 regulations kick in.

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

“I♏n his first six months into the jꦐob he lost some key personnel in Ferrari.

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

“He’s rebuilding this in his image with the help꧙ of John Elkann.

ꦍ“It seems like when the Ferrari F1 team i🧔sn’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 given a☂bout 2026 and beyond.

“Go back and 🀅think about his move from McLaren to Mercedes. He made it at t🐠he right time.

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

“Let’s not forget that this is a F🃏errari to win a race last year. The only [other ca🎐r apart from Red Bull to win a race].

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

“They have gone in their own direction with it.

“Mercedes have moved to the꧙ same sort of suspensio🥀n set-up that Red Bull have got. Most of the teams have gone that way.

“You hope for his sake that they have🎐n’t gone down an engineering cul-de-sac.

“Proof will be in the racing.

“I think he’s risking a lot. But he will be incredibl🌃y well briefed about their plans for the future.

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

Hamilton, if he wins another ღF1 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 last se🃏ason but moved away from it, and will🙈 use a push rod this year.

The brave decision from Ferrari perhaps echoes Mercedes’ belief in theiꦉr ‘zeropod’ concept𒁃 - which ultimately failed. They have now left that behind too.

Hamilton will hope that Ferrari’s choice to go for a pu൲ll rod suspension is inspired.

“We tested for a coup𒉰le of years a push-rod suspension,” Ferrari technical director Enric✃o 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 towards this direction and when moving ꧙from pull-rod to push-rod, we didn't measure a big advantage to justify some compromise in terms of weight or compliance.

“So fr♏om there, we evolved our suspension, keeping the same layout.

“The main differences compared to last year's ca🐼r are on the rear, where the inboard suspension is diffe♓rently located inside the gearbox.

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