Seven-time Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has stated that he doesn't want any elements from the current SF25 F1 car to be carried forward to the 2026 car. Hamilton suggested that Ferrari should start fresh to develop the new car after a disappointing home race at Silverstone.

Hamilton has had a tough 2025 F1 season so far, and though Silverstone was better for the Briton, he’s still far from satisfied

Hamilton has been largely outclassed by his team-mate Charles Leclerc this season, with the 27-year-old out-qualifying the champion on eight occasions. At Silverstone however, Hamilton was the Ferrari driver with the advantage and Leclerc was unable to even finish inside the top 10 in the tricky conditions on Sunday.
