The Ferrari SF-26 on the track for the first time - 2026

Ferrari’s all‑new SF‑26 Formula 1 car made its first laps on track at the team’s private Fiorano test circuit as part of a short shakedown following the car’s official reveal for the 2026 season. Seven‑time World Champion Lewis Hamilton kicked off the run before teammate Charles Leclerc took over, giving the team vital early data under the sport’s radically updated technical regulations. The demonstration day was limited in mileage by event rules, but both drivers completed their runs without major issues, and early impressions from the team were positive ahead of the next round of testing in Barcelona.
