Charles Leclerc commits his future to Ferrari
It is official: the marriage between Charles Leclerc and Ferrari is set to continue for the coming seasons. This new multi-year agreement ties the 28-year-old to the Scuderia, reinforcing a decade-long relationship that started back when he joined the driver academy in 2016.
Leclerc, who sits behind only Michael Schumacher for most appearances with the team, has already delivered iconic moments in red, including those beautiful victories at Monza in 2019 and 2024, and an emotional win on home soil in Monaco in 2024. As the driver himself put it, "I couldn’t be happier to continue this journey with Scuderia Ferrari HP. It has always been so much more than just a team to me."
Fred Vasseur sees this as the natural path for both parties, noting that Leclerc has evolved into one of the strongest drivers in Formula 1. The timing is fascinating, as the announcement lands right before the Monaco Grand Prix. With Kimi Antonelli already tagging Ferrari as the team to beat on the tight, twisty streets of the Principality, Leclerc and Lewis Hamilton look set to fight for the top spots this weekend. It is a vital chance for redemption after Leclerc described the Canadian Grand Prix as the most difficult weekend of his career.
