Charles Leclerc is firmly committed to his preparation for the 2026 Formula 1 season. The Ferrari driver completed the seat fitting of his car, a significant milestone in the early stages of pre-season work. The Italian team shared a series of images on their social media channels of the Monegasque driver getting in and out of the cockpit, accompanied by the caption: “You know the season is starting when there’s a seat fit”.
This is just another step in the countdown to the unveiling of the SF-26, Ferrari’s car for 2026. The team also recently revealed their new racing suits, with subtle white details that add a vibrant touch to the traditional red of the Scuderia. The car will be officially presented on Friday, January 23, before conducting its first shakedown at the Fiorano circuit.
The seat fitting of the Monegasque driver comes after a period of reformulation and updates at Ferrari, in pursuit of more competitive performance for the new cycle of Formula 1 regulations.
