法拉利暂不将重心转向2027年赛车，将继续研发SF-26
法拉利领队弗雷德·瓦塞尔表示，尽管夺冠希望日渐渺茫，车队仍将继续研发SF-26赛车，暂不转向2027年项目。
法拉利为何还不把重心转向2027年F1赛车
尽管夺冠希望越来越渺茫，法拉利仍打算继续升级SF-26
法拉利车队领队弗雷德·瓦塞尔表示，尽管争夺冠军的可能性正在减小，车队仍将继续研发其SF-26一级方程式赛车。
在刘易斯·汉密尔顿因刹车问题从西班牙大奖赛退赛之后，这位七届世界冠军在车手积分榜上已经落后领跑者基米·安东内利101分。与此同时，夏尔·勒克莱尔在马德里赛道仅获得第四名，这意味着法拉利在车队积分榜上落后梅赛德斯145分。
在成本上限和空气动力学测试限制的背景下，赛车研发资源必须谨慎分配；在引擎方面，法拉利已经推出了它被允许进行的两项ADUO升级。
虽然各车队都在研发2027年的新赛车，但瓦塞尔并不打算让法拉利就此把全部精力放在这上面。
“我们现在的情况和12个月前不一样，”这位法国人谈到2026年F1规则大改时说，“如今我们所研发的东西，将能够延续到明年的项目上。我们会继续工作，但也许是针对不同的东西、不同的方面。
“我们现在所做的研发，80%都将被延续使用。”
就法拉利的夺冠前景而言，瓦塞尔被问到现在对安东内利和梅赛德斯来说是否已经'大势已去'——他拒绝直接回答这个问题。
'两三周前我告诉过你们，我会一场比赛一场比赛地看。我没有改变，'他坚持说。
法拉利的关键可能在于排位赛表现，因为夏休期以来的四节排位赛（包括赞德沃特冲刺赛）中，汉密尔顿和勒克莱尔都没能排进前排。他们的平均位置是第五，SF-26 赛车与杆位成绩的差距为 0.198 秒——比迈凯伦和梅赛德斯慢，比红牛快。
'这是我们需要改进的地方，因为我认为你看比赛节奏的话，正赛中的节奏是有的，'瓦塞尔说。'当然我们需要在排位赛中做得更好。'
“如果把赞德福特站和这一站放在一起看，这两站比赛的赛事特点对我们来说有点相似。我们在排位赛中速度还不错，但在最后一圈没有把所有东西都发挥出来，正赛节奏也还可以。
“如果今天必须让车队聚焦于某件事，那就是排位赛中节奏的演进——不仅仅是排位赛本身的节奏，而是这种演进，你能做到的每一步进步。我们在Q3第一组圈速时就已经有竞争力了，潜力是存在的，我们只需要在后续进一步把所有东西都调整到位。”

Why Ferrari won't switch focus to 2027 F1 car yet
Despite its title chances growing slimmer, Ferrari intends to keep updating the SF-26
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur says the Scuderia will keep developing its SF-26 Formula 1 car, despite its diminishing title chances.
After Lewis Hamilton retired from the Spanish Grand Prix with brake issues, the seven-time world champion is 101 points adrift of championship leader Kimi Antonelli in the drivers’ standings. Meanwhile, Charles Leclerc finished just fourth at Madring, meaning Ferrari is 145 points down on Mercedes in the constructors’.
Car development resources have to be carefully allocated in light of the cost cap and the aerodynamic testing restrictions; engine-wise, Ferrari has already introduced the two ADUO upgrades it has been allowed.
While teams are known to be working on their 2027 challengers, Vasseur has no intention to make that Ferrari’s full focus just yet.
“We are not in the situation of 12 months ago,” the Frenchman said, referring to F1’s regulatory overhaul for 2026. “Today, what we will develop, we will be able to carry it over on next year's project. We will continue to work, but perhaps on different things, different aspects.
“The development that we do now, 80% will be carried over.”
As far as Ferrari’s title chances are concerned, Vasseur was asked if it was now ‘game over’ against Antonelli and Mercedes – a question he refused to answer directly.
“Two or three weeks ago I told you that I will take race by race. I didn't change,” he insisted.
The key for Ferrari may be qualifying performance, as Hamilton and Leclerc have both failed to qualify on the front row in any of the four sessions (Zandvoort sprint included) since the summer break. Their average position is fifth, and the SF-26’s deficit to pole has been 0.198s – slower than McLaren and Mercedes, quicker than Red Bull.
“This we need to improve, because I think when you have a look on the pace, during the race the pace is there,” Vasseur said. “For sure we need to do a better job in quali.
“If you take Zandvoort and this one, the profile of the event is a little bit the same for us. We had a decent pace in quali, but we didn't put everything together on the last attempt, and race pace is OK.
“If I have to put the focus of the team on something today, it would be the evolution of the pace during the quali – more than the pace in quali, the evolution, the steps that you can do. We were there on run one Q3, the potential is there, we just have to adapt everything further on.”
