Charles Leclerc signs a new multi-year contract extension with Ferrari ahead of his home Monaco Grand Prix. Ferrari announces the agreement, with Leclerc saying he is “for the coming seasons” with the team and expressing satisfaction about continuing his career in Maranello. Leclerc, 28, has driven for Ferrari since 2019 after joining the team’s academy in 2016. Sources note that he has become Ferrari’s most-raced driver in the team’s history after Michael Schumacher, who is the only driver with more Ferrari race appearances. Leclerc is also described as second in Ferrari’s list of pole positions, while he has not yet won a Formula 1 drivers’ world championship. Multiple outlets state the contract length is not publicly specified, and Ferrari frames the move as part of its longer-term plans. The announcement takes place before Leclerc competes on his home weekend in Monaco, where he continues alongside Lewis Hamilton, who also remains under a long-term Ferrari deal.
