Lewis Hamilton will work with a new race engineer during the 2026 season after Ferrari confirmed that Riccardo Adami has shifted to a role within the team\u2019s academy.<\/p>\n
Adami, who previously served as Carlos Sainz\u2019s engineer, teamed up with Hamilton when the seven-time World Champion took the Spaniard\u2019s place at Ferrari in 2025.<\/p>\n
However, after a challenging first campaign for Hamilton in red, which included a fair share of tense radio exchanges with Adami, a decision to change the Briton\u2019s engineering set-up has been made.<\/p>\n
A statement released by the famous Italian marque on Friday read: \u201cScuderia Ferrari HP announces that Riccardo Adami has moved to a new role within the Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy as Scuderia Ferrari Driver Academy and Test Previous Cars Manager, where his extensive trackside experience and Formula 1 expertise contributes to the development of future talent and to strengthening performance culture across the program.<\/p>\n
\u201cScuderia Ferrari HP would like to thank Riccardo for his commitment and contribution to his trackside role and wishes him every success in his new position.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe appointment of the new Race Engineer for car #44 will be announced in due course.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adami started his F1 career with Minardi in the early-2000s, sticking with the squad as they morphed into Toro Rosso and engineering drivers such as Sebastian Vettel and Daniel Ricciardo.<\/p>\n
He joined Ferrari in 2015, initially reuniting with Vettel as the German\u2019s race engineer, before stints alongside Sainz and then Hamilton.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lewis Hamilton will work with a new race engineer during the 2026 season after Ferrari confirmed that Riccardo…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":241873,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[85,46,105],"class_list":{"0":"post-241872","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-sports","8":"tag-il","9":"tag-israel","10":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=241872"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/241872\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/241873"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=241872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=241872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=241872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
