FERRARI EXPECTED TO INTRODUCE MAJOR UPGRADE PACKAGE AT UNITED STATES GP

Ferrari will roll out a new floor at the United States Grand Prix next week, its fourth and final major upgrade of 2026. The goal: generate the same downforce with a softer suspension setup, widening the SF-26's operating window at Circuit of the Americas. Revised sidepods and bodywork could follow in Mexico a week later.

Ferrari sits second in the constructors' standings, 134 points behind Mercedes, but the championship lead has bounced between four teams all season. Verstappen just dominated Singapore—pole and wins in both sprint and main race—but team principal Fred Vasseur isn't conceding Red Bull is the team to beat. "If someone is bringing upgrades next week, the classification can change," he said.

Austin is Ferrari's last swing before development pivots to 2027.
