Charles Leclerc has revealed his new helmet design for 2026, keeping his traditional red and white Monegasque flag colors while adding a fresh touch of baby blue.
“So I’ve kept a similar base to last year, obviously red and white,” Leclerc explained in the release video.
“I want it to be simple, and that obviously is the Monegasque flag and my colors as well.”
The 28-year-old Ferrari driver decided to incorporate his favorite color into the design this season.
“I added my favourite colour, which is baby blue, which I think looks really cool,” he said. “It looks a little bit different to last year, but not so different. So I’m happy with that, I hope you like it.”
Leclerc’s helmet reveal comes just before Ferrari’s upcoming livery launch event scheduled for Friday, January 23.
The Italian team has already given fans a sneak peek at their 2026 race suits. They feature the traditional Ferrari red but with more prominent white accents this time around.
One noticeable element on the suits is the bold blue HP logo of the team’s title sponsor.
That blue detail hasn’t pleased everyone, though. A rival team sponsor has reportedly criticized the color choice, claiming the blue clashes with and damages Ferrari’s iconic look.
