The Ferrari SF-26 is the first Ferrari Formula 1 challenger built to the sweeping 2026 technical regulations, which introduced a revised ground-effect aerodynamic framework across the entire grid. It races under the Scuderia Ferrari HP banner — a title partnership with HP Inc. formalised in 2024 — and is powered by a turbocharged V6 hybrid power unit. Charles Leclerc, wearing race number 16, has been a fixture at Maranello since 2019.
Ferrari SF-26: A New Chapter Under the 2026 Rules
The 2026 regulations represent the most significant structural reset in Formula 1 since the 2022 ground-effect reintroduction. For Ferrari, it marks the first entirely new design generation under the HP partnership, giving the SF-26 a clear identity in the Scuderia's lineage. The car features the distinctive Rosso Corsa base with a white engine cover — a visual signature of the HP era — and carries sponsors including UniCredit, Shell V-Power, CEVA Logistics, IBM, PUMA and Richard Mille alongside title partner HP.
Leclerc at Suzuka: Third Place at a Circuit Steeped in Ferrari History
Suzuka International Racing Course has a particular resonance in Ferrari's Formula 1 record: several Constructors' Championships have been clinched there. Charles Leclerc brought the No. 16 SF-26 home third at the 2026 Japanese Grand Prix, adding another chapter to that association. Suzuka's combination of high-speed sweepers, the double-apex 130R and a technical final sector consistently rewards cars with strong mechanical balance — exactly the design brief Ferrari addressed with the SF-26's ground-effect architecture.
BBR Concept43: Resin Craftsmanship at 1:43
This 1:43 scale model is produced by BBR Models under the Concept43 resin line, hand-finished to replicate the HP-era livery in precise detail. The material is resin throughout — not die-cast — which allows the finer surface features of the SF-26's bodywork to be rendered accurately. The package includes a display base, a clear acrylic case and a driver figure with helmet seated in the cockpit, identified by the 'DR' designation in BBR's product range. The white engine cover and Rosso Corsa bodywork are reproduced as they appeared at Suzuka in 2026.
