Scuderia Ferrari HP SF-26 No.16 3rd Australian GP 2026 Charles Leclerc in 1:18 scale
The #16 Scuderia Ferrari HP SF-26 driven by Charles Leclerc at the 2026 Australian Grand Prix showcased both the Monegasque driver’s elite racecraft and Ferrari’s early-season potential. Leclerc, widely regarded as one of Formula One’s fastest qualifiers and most precise drivers, made a lightning start from the grid to seize the early race lead, ultimately finishing a strong third behind the dominant Mercedes pair.
What set his SF-26 apart in this race was its aggressive race setup and the strategic gamble Ferrari took—opting not to pit during key Virtual Safety Car periods, which temporarily kept Leclerc ahead but ultimately cost track position. The SF-26 itself also stood out as part of Formula One’s new 2026 regulation era, featuring a lighter, more efficient hybrid package and revised aerodynamics designed for closer racing and energy management. Combined with Ferrari’s classic red-and-white livery and Leclerc’s ability to extract maximum pace—especially at the start—the Australian GP version of the #16 car is notable as one of the most competitive non-Mercedes machines in the season opener.
