The headline coming out of Maranello during the break is forward-looking: Ferrari is bringing an engine update to Miami that could address the superclipping issue Lewis Hamilton has been dealing with — and by his own description, it's been severe. Superclipping is the kind of problem that doesn't show up in a lap time headline but absolutely ruins a driver's ability to manage energy deployment through high-speed corners, so if this fix lands properly, it could meaningfully unlock performance Hamilton hasn't been able to access so far in 2026.

The timing matters. Miami is the first race back after the break, which means Ferrari's engineers have had this window to work on the fix without the pressure of back-to-back weekends. Whether the update fully resolves it or just takes the edge off remains to be seen, but the fact that it's targeted and race-ready for round four suggests the factory has a clear diagnosis. Keep an eye on Hamilton's sector times in FP1 — if the clipping is gone, you'll see it in the high-speed stuff immediately.
