Charles Leclerc has secured a multi-year contract extension with Ferrari, taking the Monegasque driver off the F1 market for the foreseeable future. While no specific length was announced, the deal is set to keep Leclerc at Maranello "for the coming seasons," underscoring his long-held ambition to become a world champion with Ferrari, a team he considers a second family.

Leclerc has amassed 155 F1 starts for the Scuderia, nearing Michael Schumacher’s record of 180. He also holds 27 poles for the team, though his conversion rate to wins sits at 18.5%, with eight victories. Team Principal Fred Vasseur praised Leclerc’s growth and dedication, affirming his place as one of F1’s strongest drivers. This stability ensures Ferrari’s line-up remains consistent, a move that likely keeps Ferrari academy product Ollie Bearman at Haas for another year, delaying his potential F1 seat at the main team. This commitment sets Ferrari on a stable course as they push for championship glory.
