While the SF-26 regroups ahead of Barcelona, Ferrari's other racing program is gearing up for a serious assault on the WEC 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps this weekend. And the mood in the 499P camp is noticeably different from the F1 side of the garage right now.

The setup coming into Spa is genuinely encouraging. Ferrari finished P2 at the Imola opener — close enough to Toyota to know the gap is bridgeable, strong enough to arrive in Belgium with real confidence. More importantly, Spa is historically a circuit where the 499P goes well. The aerodynamic characteristics of the Ferrari hypercar suit the fast, sweeping corners of the Ardennes; Eau Rouge, Pouhon, and Blanchimont are all sections where the 499P's downforce philosophy comes into its own.

The tricky read, as Motorsport.com flags, is what the competition is actually doing. Several Hypercar rivals are likely to sandbag at Spa, managing engines and aero loads rather than revealing their full Le Mans preparation to opponents. So even if Toyota looks dominant on the timing screens, you can't fully trust what you're seeing. The real intelligence about where everyone actually stands only becomes clear when the lights go out on the Sarthe on a Saturday afternoon in June.

Back in F1, Motorsport.com has published a long meditation on Charles Leclerc's relationship with his own failures — specifically, the way he prosecutes himself publicly after difficult weekends before anyone else gets the chance to. The piece captures something the tifosi know intimately: Charles doesn't reach for excuses. He doesn't triangulate. He just says what he got wrong, in detail, on camera, without filters. It's a quality that makes him genuinely likeable in the paddock and occasionally painful to follow as a fan when a weekend like Miami happens. The spin, the penalty, the radio frustration — Charles had already filed charges against himself before the cool-down lap was done.

And from the Hamilton side of the Maranello garage, his full Miami team radio has surfaced — the title quote being "We can do it, I'm sure." Given what we know about his afternoon (launched into damage from the Colapinto contact, running significantly compromised aero for most of the race), there's something very Lewis about that clip. Whether it reads as inspiring or as a quiet reminder of just how difficult that race really was probably depends on your mood heading into the week.
