While Ferrari is famously protective of its racing pedigree in Formula 1, the brand has expanded its horizon toward a different kind of “cup” and endurance glory this year.
1. The “Hypersail” Project (Sailing)
Ferrari has officially entered the nautical world with a project called Hypersail. While many fans speculated they might join the America’s Cup, Ferrari is currently carving its own path in high-performance sailing rather than joining the 2027 Naples event as a direct challenger.
- The Goal: Led by Team Principal Giovanni Soldini, the project aims to launch a 30-meter foiling racing yacht in late 2026.
- The Tech: It’s being treated as a “floating laboratory,” utilizing Ferrari’s aerodynamics and hybrid powertrain expertise. The yacht is designed by Guillaume Verdier (who has worked on winning America’s Cup boats) and will be entirely self-sufficient in renewable energy.
2. The FIA World Endurance Championship (Hypercar)
On the tarmac, Ferrari is focused on defending its dominance in the Hypercar class.
- Le Mans 24 Hours: Ferrari is chasing a historic fourth consecutive victory at Le Mans in June 2026. Having won in 2023, 2024, and 2025, the 499P has become the gold standard of the series.
- The “Manufacturers’ Cup”: Ferrari is currently the reigning WEC manufacturer champion and is in the middle of a heated 2026 season battle against Toyota, Porsche, and BMW to retain that title.
3. Formula 1: The 2026 Constructors’ Championship
With the massive 2026 regulation shift looming, Ferrari is pouring immense resources into the SF-26 power unit. They are hoping to reclaim the Formula 1 World Constructors’ Cup, leveraging their new driver pairing of Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton to end a nearly two-decade title drought.
