Leclerc renews with Ferrari: “I couldn’t be happier, it’s more than a team”

Eternal love Charles Leclerc and Ferrari have formalized the extension of the contract that binds the Monegasque to the Maranello team. Leclerc began racing in F1 with the Ferrari in 2019 and the 2027 World Championship will be the ninth for Leclerc with the Ferrari suit. Leclerc’s contract with the Maranello team was not expiring, but the Leclerc-Ferrari duo wanted to send a clear message in the week leading up to the Monaco GP: the bond between Leclerc and the Ferrari is stronger than ever. Below are Leclerc’s words. “I couldn’t be happier to continue the journey with Scuderia Ferrari HP which for me is much more than a team. It is the team that I have always loved and that I have dreamed of being part of since I was a child and which, after all these years, has become a second family for me.” “Together we have shared incredible moments and others more difficult, but I believe more than ever in the Scuderia and I am deeply grateful to be able to continue fighting for our common goal which is to bring the world title back to Maranello. Being a Ferrari driver is a dream, but also a responsibility that can never be taken for granted: I will continue to give my all to bring the Scuderia back to where it deserves, that is to say at the top, for all those who work at Maranello and above all for the fans, who with their passion are its beating heart.”
