Ferrari has signed a new multi-year contract with Charles Leclerc, securing his presence in the team for the upcoming seasons. Leclerc, who first joined Ferrari in 2019 after starting his Formula 1 career with Sauber in 2018, has delivered remarkable performances, including wins at Monza in 2019 and 2024, as well as a significant victory in Monaco in 2024.
This renewed agreement marks another phase in the long-standing partnership between Ferrari and Leclerc, who became part of the team’s driver academy in 2016. Expressing his joy, Leclerc emphasized the deep connection he feels with Ferrari, referring to the team as his second family and expressing his commitment to help bring the World Championship title back to Maranello.
Ferrari Team Principal, Fred Vasseur, praised Leclerc’s growth both as a driver and as a team player, highlighting his dedication and alignment with Ferrari’s values. The confirmation of Leclerc’s contract extension comes ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, where Ferrari is anticipated to perform strongly despite Mercedes’ dominance in previous races.
Championship leader Kimi Antonelli has identified Ferrari as the team to watch in Monaco, with expectations high for Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton to be formidable contenders. This positive outlook could serve as motivation for Ferrari and Leclerc to replicate their successful 2024 performances, following a challenging weekend at the Canadian Grand Prix.
