Ferrari has invested significant time in its 2026 Formula 1 car, including much of last season after ending development of the SF-25 early.
Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton have been heavily involved in developing Ferrari’s 2026 F1 car, the SF-26, from the early stages last year. Ferrari made a risky move by halting the development of their 2025 car in April to focus on the new power unit rules. The 2026 regulations, with a 50/50 split between electrical and combustion power, are the biggest changes in F1 history. Leclerc and Hamilton are key figures in shaping Ferrari’s new car direction after a disappointing 2025 season. Their goal is to avoid a repeat of last year’s struggles, aiming to be well-prepared and competitive with the support of the fans in the upcoming season.
