Ferrari Reveal New 2026 Race Suits as Hamilton–Leclerc Era Takes Shape

Ferrari have unveiled their redesigned race suits for the 2026 Formula 1 season, offering the first visual glimpse of the Scuderia’s new era as Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc prepare to line up together on the grid.

The updated Puma-made suits will be worn alongside Ferrari’s all-new 2026 challenger, created under sweeping new regulations covering both power units and aerodynamics. With the regulation reset expected to shake up the competitive order, Ferrari are targeting a return to the front after a difficult, winless 2025 campaign.

While the car itself is yet to be revealed, Ferrari will showcase its 2026 livery at a launch event in Maranello on Friday, January 23. Both Hamilton and Leclerc have been spending time at the factory as preparations intensify for the new season.

The race suits were revealed through a short social media video featuring the two drivers alongside team principal Frédéric Vasseur. The clip opens with Leclerc stepping out of an elevator, shown only from the waist down, highlighting the familiar Ferrari red base with white trim running along the legs. Hamilton then appears from behind, instantly identified as Leclerc calls out: “LH!”

“We’re back at Maranello,” Hamilton says, with Leclerc replying: “We are!”

The pair walk into a dark studio before turning to face the camera, where they are bathed in light to reveal the full design. The suits retain Ferrari’s iconic red, complemented by a bold white panel around the collar and shoulders, a clean, modern look that signals the start of Formula 1’s new era for the Scuderia.
