News - 2026-09-22 - By Jenny Marsh

Reports say Ferrari has prepared a black race suit for Charles Leclerc for the Singapore Grand Prix, while Monza also carries Schumacher history.

Ferrari has not confirmed a Schumacher tribute package in the supplied material, but a black Charles Leclerc race suit for the Singapore Grand Prix has been reported. Motorsport.com reported that Ferrari prepared a special black suit for Leclerc, replacing the team’s usual red-led design for that event.

Any Schumacher connection remains contextual rather than confirmed by the sources provided. Autosport noted that Michael Schumacher announced his Formula 1 retirement at Monza on 10 September 2006, shortly after the Italian Grand Prix. Schumacher finished his Formula 1 career with 302 entries, 87 wins and 150 podiums.

Leclerc goes into this stage of the 2026 season fifth in the drivers’ championship on 167 points. The Monegasque has 182 Formula 1 entries, nine wins, 24 poles and 53 podiums, while Ferrari’s record in the series stands at 250 race wins and 16 constructors’ titles across 77 seasons.
