Ferrari locks Leclerc with multiyear contract before transfer market

Published on June 03, 2026 | Translated from Spanish

Scuderia Ferrari has announced the extension of Charles Leclerc's contract for several years, even though the Monegasque driver still had two seasons ahead of him. This decision comes at a key moment, when many drivers on the grid will be free in 2025. Leclerc, who debuted with the team in 2019, will seek to break a title drought that the Cavallino Rampante has endured since 2008 with the constructor. The bet is clear: stability and a long-term project leader.

Technical development as the pillar of the renewal 🏎️

Leclerc's continuity is not only due to his speed in qualifying, but also to his ability to guide the development of the car. Since the ground effect era, the Monegasque has worked side by side with Maranello's engineers to fine-tune setup and tire management, two critical areas under the current regulations. His constant feedback has allowed Ferrari to close the gap with Red Bull, although reliability and strategic decisions remain weak points. The management trusts that, with more time, this technical partnership will bear fruit.

Leclerc, Ferrari's eternal driver (or until Hamilton arrives) 😅

Ferrari has decided to tie down Leclerc like mooring a boat to the dock before a transfer storm. Very nice, but the rumor mill never rests: they say Lewis Hamilton could land in Maranello in 2025. If that happens, poor Charles would go from being the prodigal son to the teammate who lends the garage to the famous neighbor. Meanwhile, the Monegasque will keep dreaming of a title that seems more elusive than a bucket of water in the Ferrari pit. At least, he has a contract to see it.
