Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc Unveil Ferrari F1 2026 Race Suits

Formula 1, Sportrik Media - Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc have officially revealed Ferrari’s new race suits for the 2026 Formula 1 season, offering an early visual statement from the Scuderia ahead of the new regulatory era.

As a new Formula 1 season approaches, changes extend beyond technical development to the team’s visual identity. For seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton and team-mate Charles Leclerc, that transition begins with the introduction of Ferrari’s updated race suits, unveiled through the team’s official social media channels.

In the short video released by Ferrari, Hamilton and Leclerc are seen walking through part of the Maranello factory, initially shown only in shadow with the camera focused on the back of their legs. After a brief pause, the pair turn toward the camera as a spotlight reveals the full 2026 race suit design.

“Back at Maranello!” Hamilton says in the clip.

The new Ferrari race suits feature a clear visual departure from last season’s predominantly all-red design. While red remains the dominant colour, white piping has been added around the neck, across the shoulders, and down the sides of the suits, creating a sharper contrast and a more distinctive silhouette for 2026.

The introduction of white detailing has prompted speculation that Ferrari may incorporate more white into the livery of its 2026 challenger, the SF-26. The car is scheduled to be unveiled at Fiorano on Friday, and Ferrari has not yet confirmed whether the race suit design reflects broader visual themes planned for the new car.

For Ferrari, the unveiling of the race suits represents more than a stylistic update. It forms part of a carefully managed build-up to a pivotal season, as Formula 1 prepares for sweeping changes to power unit and aerodynamic regulations in 2026. Visual elements are often aligned with a team’s wider identity reset during such transitional periods.

The presence of both Hamilton and Leclerc in the reveal underlines their central roles within Ferrari’s 2026 project. Hamilton enters the new season with the ambition of returning to title contention, while Leclerc continues to serve as a long-term technical reference point as the team develops its next generation of cars.

With the race suits now revealed, attention will quickly shift to Ferrari’s on-track preparations and the first public appearance of the SF-26. Early impressions, both visual and technical, will offer initial clues as to how Ferrari intends to position itself in the competitive landscape of Formula 1’s new era.
