Ferrari launched their 2026 Formula 1 call, dubbed the SF-26, and they shook down the car at Fiorano after lunch today with both Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc on hand to complete the first laps of Ferrari’s 2026 challenger.
Our Federico Basile was on site to capture these initial photographs.
The car’s livery has more white alongside Ferrari’s classic red to “connect past and present”, and a return to gloss paint after seven years using a matte finish – similar to Red Bull.
The pushrod suspension at both ends of the car marks the first time since 2011 that Ferrari will use a pushrod rear suspension configuration.
The driver appears to sit further forward in the car than all the other team cars revealed so far.
