On Friday, Ferrari became the sixth team to reveal their 2026 livery and stands as the penultimate team to reveal their designs ahead of the upcoming Shakedown Week: a behind-closed-doors, pre-season test in Barcelona. 

The reveal, which was done on a short, online, video presentation of their 2026 challenger, the SF-26, showcased the teams new car under the new set of technical and power unit regulations. 

Similarly to Red Bull, the team has changed their matte finish and replaced it with gloss paint. 

“The SF-26 marks the beginning of a new era for both Formula 1 and Ferrari, with new regulations introduced in the same year for the chassis and the power unit, as well as new fuels and new tyre sizes,” said Ferrari Team Principal, Fred Vasseur.

“This car is the result of a tremendous team effort and represents the start of a completely new journey, built around a different set of rules that inevitably brings a number of unknowns. The team is aligned and more united than ever as we look ahead to the season. 

“From next week in Barcelona, we will begin the process of understanding and validating the car. 

“In this initial phase, the priority will be to learn as much as possible and to start building solid foundations ahead of the opening race.”

The SF-26 maintains its predominantly iconic red colour scheme, but the car features more white across the cockpit area thanks to its partnership with HP. Ferrari claims it gives their car a ‘strong, balanced visual contrast.’ 

Ferrari has claimed, ahead of the latest set of regulations, that their approach will be unchanged, with methodical work, attention to detail and thorough data analysis in a bid to make ‘controlled and solid progress.’

Following the reveal, the car made its on-track debut at Ferrari’s own private track in Maranello, Fiorano circuit.
