Lewis Hamilton has a bigger problem than Charles Leclerc as worrying Ferrari engine details emerge

Lewis Hamilton faces severe engine concerns heading into the final four races of the 2026 season following a power unit failure in Mexico. While tension remains high between Hamilton and teammate Charles Leclerc over their clash at the Mexico City Grand Prix, reports indicate Hamilton's newest and most powerful engine suffered a technical issue. Ferrari replaced it with an older unit to avoid immediate grid penalties.

According to reports from Formula1.IT, Hamilton may now be forced to finish the season using three older power units near the end of their lifespan. This leaves the 41-year-old at significant risk of taking future grid penalties. Such a setback threatens his position in the drivers' championship, where he currently sits third, just two points behind Max Verstappen.
