Ferrari has unveiled images of its 2026 Formula 1 car ahead of its Friday shakedown at Fiorano.
The SF-26 is a "complete rethink of the car's architecture", according to Ferrari, to meet the demands of the new chassis and engine rules this year.
Ferrari says the car has "cleaner lines and an overall philosophy focused on reducing weight and improving efficiency".
The car's livery has more white alongside Ferrari's classic red to "connect past and present", and a return to gloss paint after seven years using a matte finish - similar to Red Bull.
The pushrod suspension at both ends of the car marks the first time since 2011 that Ferrari will use a pushrod rear suspension configuration.
Ferrari's shakedown, which commenced shortly after the launch, provided an immediate opportunity to compare the real thing to what looks like a relatively simple and conventional design in the renders.
Compared to other cars that have launched so far, one of the few standout visual differences is that the top of its engine cover has a serrated edge before it goes back into the extended shark fin that returns on the 2026 cars.
This was also visible on the version of the car that ran in the shakedown.
"We dedicated significant time to the concept phase to capture as much as possible of the new regulatory and technical context," said technical director Loic Serra.
"We also had to ensure that the car's architecture would allow us enough flexibility for in season development."
