Monegasque is marked as Ferrari’s future

When Charles Leclerc arrived at Ferrari from Sauber in 2019, it was very clear that he was the anointed king waiting at Maranello. That notion was further confirmed when he was offered a 5-year contract, something that was not even offered to Michael Schumacher. Now comes a report that says Leclerc could be given a two-year extension from his 2024 contract, meaning he will remain at Ferrari until 2026. Reports about the 23-year-old come from Resto del Carlino.

“Great to know that Charles has secretly expressed his desire to extend the contract that binds him to Ferrari until the end of 2026. The current agreement expires in 2024. Given that, with an understatement, While I can define the current performance of the Red Car as less than exciting, Leclerc clearly believes the conditions are right for him to realize his big dream, champion with Prancing Horse. To become. We will see,” the report said.

Leclerc has often said he is not against the idea of ​​spending his entire F1 career prancing horses. He has been raised by Ferrari as he has been a star prodigy of the Drivers Academy in Maranello, having won F3 and F2 titles before his rise in F1, where in his first three years he played with 4-time world champion Sebastian Vettel. Including teammates who eventually left the team to join Aston Martin in 2021.

Vettel also described Leclerc as the most talented young driver in F1 and his new teammate Carlos Sainz Jr. is finding it. Ferrari has also supported Leclerc’s younger brother Arthur Leclerc who currently drives in F3. Leclerc found himself in the care of Ferrari after his godfather Jules Bianchi died in a horrific crash at Suzuka in 2014. Bianchi was earmarked for a Ferrari drive which never happened.
