Two races into the season, and Ferrari have already taken the lead in to turn one twice. From the second row, that's not luck. And here's the biggest clue. Ferrari actually blocked changes to simplify race start rules. Because in 2026, race starts aren't just clutch and throttle anymore. With no MGUH, limited electric boost off the line, and a completely new start procedure. Drivers now have to manually prepare the engine before the lights even go out. They have to build turbo energy in those final seconds on the grid. But get it slightly wrong, and you either don't have enough torque, so the car bogs down. Or you get a sudden spike of power, and instantly lose traction with wheelspin. But Ferrari have nailed every part of it. Their power delivery is incredibly smooth, so instead of a sudden hit of torque, it builds progressively. Keeping the rear tires hooked up. They've also mastered the turbo preparation phase before the start. Getting the engine in the perfect window without overheating the tires. And most importantly, they're repeating it consistently, while other teams are still experimenting race to race. And when you combine all of that, it makes perfect sense why Ferrari didn't want these rules simplified. Because right now, this is an advantage only they fully understand. They haven't just got good starts. They've solved one of the biggest challenges of the 2026 regulations before anyone else. The question is, how long does that advantage last?
