Ferrari, shareholders’ meeting in Amsterdam
Ferrari chairman John Elkann has long framed 2026 as the year of the Scuderia’s return to the top. The latest investments and efforts, including the signing of Lewis Hamilton, have gone in this direction, but they were not enough to start the new technical cycle as the leading force. The “hare” is clearly Mercedes, but Ferrari has shown solidity by reaching the podium in every race. That is why Elkann remains optimistic for the current season, as does CEO Benedetto Vigna, in the words spoken during the shareholders’ meeting held today in Amsterdam.

Elkann’s words
“Ferrari knows that racing also means learning and progressing,” said the Scuderia chairman. “After a Formula 1 season below our ambitions, in 2026 we entered a new championship with new regulations. We do this with unity and determination, fully focused on the work ahead to come back stronger.”
While 2025 was disappointing on the F1 front, with zero seasonal wins, Ferrari found great satisfaction in the WEC: “Our sporting soul continues to grow. 2025 was a year of solid achievement and important new beginnings, we won both the constructors’ and drivers’ titles in Endurance. November 8 was a moment of pure joy for all of us and for fans worldwide, 50 years after our last world championship. It is the result of talent and teamwork at the end of a season that saw the 499P achieve its third consecutive victory at Le Mans, another extraordinary milestone in our history for which I am grateful to the entire team.”
