A majority of F1 fans believe Ferrari's hopes of winning the 2026 championships is already over - after just four races.

The Scuderia currently sits in second place in the constructors' on 110 points, 70 behind the dominant Mercedes team and just 16 ahead of McLaren - which has suffered three Did Not Starts from eight possible starts thus far.

Both Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton have scored podium finishes for the team, but the huge raft of upgrades brought to Miami did not propel the team forward into the fight with Mercedes, whose own big upgrade will be coming in Canada next time out.

With this in mind, a majority of F1 fans, when asked in a RacingNews365 poll, believe that Ferrari's hopes of ending its title drought, which stretches back to the 2008 constructors' and 2007 drivers' for Kimi Raikkonen, will go on to enter a third decade after success eludes Maranello once again.
