Some names are more than letters and numbers. They carry history, hope, and quiet promises whispered across generations. For Scuderia Ferrari, naming a Formula 1 car is never just a formality—it is a declaration of identity. And once again, Ferrari chooses to remember who they are.
As the world looks toward Formula 1 2026, Ferrari officially reveals the name of its challenger: SF-26. Simple. Firm. Familiar. A continuation of a tradition that began in 2023—and a signal that while the rules may change, Ferrari’s soul remains the same.
For fans, this is not just news. It is a heartbeat returning after a long winter.
And if you want to witness this new chapter unfold live, you can stream F1 2026 exclusively on beIN Sports via Vision+—where every lap, every battle, and every silent tension comes alive in real time.
First of All, SF-26: When a Name Carries Legacy
Ferrari had already confirmed that its 2026 Formula 1 car would be launched at Fiorano, Italy, on January 23, 2026. The place itself matters—Fiorano is not just a test track, it is Ferrari’s home, where dreams are measured in lap times.
Last season, Ferrari raced with the SF-25, driven by Charles Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton. Despite fierce efforts across 24 races, the car failed to secure a single main-race victory. Painful, yes—but Ferrari is a team that learns quietly and returns stronger.
Then, through social media, the announcement arrived:
“A new era begins, with SF-26.”
— Scuderia Ferrari (@ScuderiaFerrari), January 11, 2026
By naming the car SF-26, Ferrari continues a tradition started with SF-23 (2023) and SF-24 (2024). It is a naming philosophy built on clarity and continuity—Scuderia Ferrari + the racing year.
In a sport obsessed with reinvention, Ferrari chooses consistency.
And for fans, that consistency builds trust. Trust that this car is not a gamble, but a carefully written chapter in a long, emotional story.

Moreover, Formula 1 2026 Marks a True New Era
Change is coming. Not quietly—but boldly.
Formula 1 2026 introduces major technical and regulatory overhauls, aimed at making racing closer, more sustainable, and more competitive. The last time F1 experienced such a massive reset was 2022—a season where Ferrari briefly rose as Red Bull’s strongest challenger before falling behind.
This time, the stakes feel higher.
Ferrari knows what these moments mean. Regulation changes are opportunities for rebirth, for teams willing to think deeper and work harder. The SF-26 is built not only for speed, but for adaptation.
Because of these new rules, F1 2026 Pre-Season Testing will be held in three separate phases:
-
Barcelona-Catalunya, Spain – January 26–30, 2026 (closed sessions)
-
Bahrain International Circuit – February 11–13, 2026
-
Bahrain International Circuit – February 18–20, 2026
Every test lap matters. Every data point could define the season.
And finally, the world will watch the first real answer at the F1 Australian Grand Prix 2026, held at Albert Park, Melbourne, from March 6–8, 2026.
This is where theory meets reality.
To truly feel this era—hear the engines, see the battles, sense the pressure—you need more than highlights.

Finally, Why SF-26 Could Be Ferrari’s Turning Point—and Why You Should Watch It Live
Ferrari does not shout about revolutions. They let time speak.
SF-26 represents patience after disappointment, tradition in the face of change, and belief in long-term vision. With one of the strongest driver line-ups and lessons learned from past failures, Ferrari enters 2026 not as a loud favorite—but as a quiet threat.
For fans, this season is about more than wins. It is about witnessing history as it is written.
Because one day, people may look back and say:
“That’s where Ferrari began again.”
And when that moment arrives—when the lights go out and SF-26 launches from the grid—you will want to be there.
