The seasoned Ferrari brains is trading scarlet red for Australian Supercars, jumping ship to Grove Racing where he\u2019ll engineer young gun Kai Allen starting in 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Timing couldn\u2019t be worse: Corte walks out as Ferrari heads into Brazil\u2019s S\u00e3o Paulo showdown, a race where Hamilton desperately needs to crack his podium drought. Seven titles but zero champagne showers since joining the Scuderia\u2014his best haul? A string of fourth-place finishes in Austria, Britain, and the U.S. Not exactly what the Tifosi dreamed of when he swapped Mercedes for Maranello.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/backfirenews.com\/mustang-cup-north-america\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mustang Cup North America Expands With New Tracks and Bigger Opportunities for 2026;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Mustang Cup North America Expands With New Tracks and Bigger Opportunities for 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Corte\u2019s legacy at Ferrari runs deep. Over a decade, he\u2019s been the unsung hero, first shaping Charles Leclerc\u2019s raw talent, then fine-tuning Carlos Sainz\u2019s pace before Hamilton came knocking. But after Belgium, the brass shuffled him to development purgatory, and now he\u2019s chasing fresh asphalt Down Under.<\/p>\n<p>Grove Racing? Don\u2019t sleep on them. Since a 2021 takeover, they\u2019ve been clawing up the Supercars ranks, nabbing runner-up in last year\u2019s Teams\u2019 Championship and conquering Bathurst\u2019s brutal 1000 km marathon. Corte\u2019s gamble? Turning potential into trophies with Allen.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Ferrari\u2019s scratching their heads over who fills Corte\u2019s shoes while Hamilton battles to mesh with the team\u2019s famously finicky machinery. For Corte, it\u2019s curtains on 11 years of F1 grind\u2014and lights up on a wild new ride.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportbible.com\/f1\/lewis-hamilton-engineer-quits-ferrari-statement-released-105303-20251105\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Source;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Hamilton\u2019s first season with Ferrari just hit a snag with the bombshell exit of his performance guru,&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":278386,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[441],"tags":[126986,49,48,578,930,576,577,126987,932,126985,82,49537],"class_list":{"0":"post-278385","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-formula-1","8":"tag-australian-supercars","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-f1","12":"tag-ferrari","13":"tag-formula-1","14":"tag-formula1","15":"tag-grove-racing","16":"tag-lewis-hamilton","17":"tag-riccardo-corte","18":"tag-sports","19":"tag-supercars"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278385","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=278385"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/278385\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/278386"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=278385"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=278385"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=278385"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
