Ferrari has secured the long-term future of Charles Leclerc after the Monaco driver signed a new contract that will keep him with the Italian team for the foreseeable future.
The agreement ends months of speculation surrounding Leclerc’s future and underlines Ferrari’s confidence in the 28-year-old, who has become one of the team’s central figures since joining from Sauber ahead of the 2019 season.
Leclerc said he was delighted to continue his journey with Ferrari, describing the team as a major part of his life and expressing his belief in the project being built at Maranello. He added that everyone within the organization remains focused on achieving the ultimate goal of returning Ferrari to championship-winning form.
Since arriving at Ferrari, Leclerc has claimed multiple Grand Prix victories, pole positions and podium finishes while establishing himself as one of Formula 1’s fastest qualifiers. Despite several near-misses in title challenges, he remains determined to help deliver Ferrari’s first drivers’ championship since 2007.
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur welcomed the new deal, praising Leclerc’s speed, commitment and leadership. Vasseur said the driver has become a key part of the team both on and off the track and that Ferrari sees him as an important figure in its long-term ambitions.
The announcement comes as Formula 1 prepares for a major regulatory overhaul in 2026, with teams already looking ahead to a new era of cars and power units. By securing Leclerc’s services on a long-term basis, Ferrari has ensured stability as it continues its pursuit of championship success.
Leclerc remains one of the most recognizable drivers on the grid and will now continue his quest to bring Formula 1’s biggest prize back to Ferrari in the years ahead.
