The interior should remain largely unchanged with more physical controls, and US pricing is expected to be around $270,000.

Ferrari’s Bahrain aero upgrade branded uncopyable by F1 rivals

RacingNews365 reports Ferrari’s Bahrain pre-season test featured a heavily upgraded SF‑26 aero package, including a rear‑exhaust flow device (FTM) and a gearbox redesigned to allow a cantilevered rear aero within the 60mm overhang limit; analysts say this regulatory constraint makes the upgrade effectively uncopyable for rivals, with Ferrari also showing a dramatic inverted rear‑wing in the same test.
