Charles Leclerc's exclusive interview with journalist Roberto Chinchero on Motorsport.com has raised a big question for the entire F1 paddock: what will Ferrari's 2026 SF-26 car be like when it arrives at Monza? Just before the chequered flag rises at Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Leclerc stated that SF-26 no longer needs to remove 'more than 100 points of downforce' like in previous seasons, making Monza feel a little strange. Looking at data from 2026-2026, when Ferrari had to remove every winglet and sacrifice performance at every circuit to optimize for Monza, the new 2026 active-aero regulations have brought real balance. But behind that is a huge fatigue risk when Monza ends and Madrid returns the following week.
