Ferrari introduces 'bunny ears' in its latest innovation effort.

      Ferrari has maintained its impressive streak of technical advancements by presenting another highly unique rear wing for the Hungarian GP. The latest iteration of the so-called 'Macarena' design includes small winglets that resemble bunny ears on both sides, along with a triple-decker cascade in the center of the assembly. According to Auto Motor und Sport, Ferrari holds a significant packaging advantage over its competitors. In most vehicles, the actuator responsible for moving the main flap occupies the center of the wing. Instead, Ferrari positions the adjustment mechanism at the outer endplates, allowing more room in the middle of the wing for additional aerodynamic features. Competing teams were able to utilize similar central cascades in Monaco only because the straight-line mode was inactive on the narrow street circuit. However, at the Hungaroring, where the wings can be flattened in four different sections of the lap, Ferrari can maintain its innovative center section without compromising the active-wing function. Many in the paddock already see Ferrari as the clear favorite in Hungary due to its grip, traction, and performance in slow and medium-speed corners. "That’s why I’m definitely keeping an eye on them in Hungary," Ralf Schumacher mentioned to Sky Deutschland. Lewis Hamilton, on the other hand, believes Mercedes still sets the standard. "They have won nearly all the races," stated the seven-time world champion. "They are quick on all types of circuits and also excel in slow corners." "In Monaco, they were the quickest, so we must remember they could be the fastest again this weekend." Hamilton also downplayed suggestions that Ferrari’s recent upgrades have completely changed the car. "Everyone has made upgrades," he emphasized. "Our car isn't very different from what we had in Monaco. There are some minor adjustments, but overall, the car remains comparable." Hamilton also expressed disappointment with his own performance in the first half of the season, despite marking considerable improvement compared to 2025. "I’m not focusing on the second half of the season," he said. "The first part of the year was acceptable, but possibly not above average." Meanwhile, Red Bull has reintroduced its own controversial Macarena wing in Hungary after addressing the mechanical issues that led to failures in Austria and at Silverstone. "Our rear wing has been approved, so we'll be returning with the Macarena version, which is expected to be faster," Isack Hadjar informed L’Equipe. "Additionally, this is a track that is more favorable for us in terms of energy, and it has several fast sections, which suits me very well."
