Ahead of the season opener, Leclerc participated in pre-season testing, completing 135 laps on the final day. “The test day was very smooth, we ran through our programme and tested all the things we planned to,” Leclerc said. “In terms of performance, it’s still difficult to understand where we really stand because teams are hiding their true form, so it’s significant not to focus too much on lap times and prepare for the first race.”
Ferrari is entering the 2026 season with a new car, the SF-26, designed to meet the new chassis and engine regulations, which feature internal combustion and electric power in equal measure. Leclerc and his new teammate, Lewis Hamilton, expressed cautious optimism following the pre-season test in Bahrain, but acknowledged the true performance of the car remains to be seen.
The 1957 Ferrari 250 Testa Rossa driven by Leclerc after the ceremony is one of only 33 ever produced. The model has a storied racing history, winning four world championships and four overall victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans between 1958 and 1962.
