Ferrari & Vasseur engineers were astonished after the new SF26 was switched on at Fiorano

The ignition of the SF-26 at the Fiorano Circuit triggered an immediate reaction within Scuderia Ferrari. Engineers, technicians, and Frédéric Vasseur himself were stunned after hearing and analyzing the first real data from the new 2026 Formula 1 car. In this video, we break down exactly what happened during that pivotal moment, why the SF-26's start-up was so revealing, and what technical indicators ignited excitement—and also tension—in Maranello. The initial parameters of the 2026 hybrid engine, the electronic response, mechanical stability, and chassis-power unit integration showed figures unseen at Ferrari for years. This analysis connects the Fiorano ignition with the new Formula 1 technical regulations, the ambitious 2026 project led by Vasseur, and the potential consequences for the grid. It's not just sound: it's data, simulator correlation, and a silent confirmation that Ferrari may have taken a decisive step forward against Red Bull, Mercedes, and McLaren.
