Ferrari SF-26 livery leak: Maranello set for a stunning return to glossy red. Ferrari have revealed another clue about the SF-26 livery through recent images.

The images recently published by Ferrari have revealed an important spoiler regarding the SF-26 livery, which is set to be officially unveiled in just a few days.

The new technical regulations that will debut in the coming weeks appear to be bringing changes not only from a technical perspective, but also in terms of aesthetics. Looking at the first livery launches, it is already possible to notice how several teams have chosen to move away from the matte finishes that have defined recent seasons. One clear example is Red Bull, which has decided to return to the glossy paintwork that accompanied the team during the highly successful Sebastian Vettel era.

Ferrari tease a key detail of the SF-26 livery

The Milton Keynes-based team is unlikely to be the only top contender heading in this direction. According to the latest images released by Ferrari to announce Charles Leclerc’s seat fitting, an important detail can be spotted regarding the SF-26 livery that will be presented in the coming days.

In addition to the much-discussed return of white, already highlighted by the new racing suits and official merchandising, the Scuderia from Maranello may also be bringing back another feature that has long been loved by Ferrari fans. The images show a strong presence of a noticeably lighter shade of red compared to the darker tones used in recent seasons.

All signs suggest that this will be combined with a return to glossy paintwork, marking a clear break from the matte finishes seen in recent years. It is a stylistic choice that immediately caught the attention of fans and was met with widespread approval from the Ferrari faithful.

The tifosi are now hoping that the SF-26 will not only be visually striking, but also competitive on track, capable of delivering the results that Maranello has been chasing for so long.
