Charles Leclerc has committed his long-term future to Ferrari, signing a new contract extension that will keep him with the Italian team through the "coming seasons." The 28-year-old's deal comes ahead of his home Grand Prix in Monaco this weekend, where he has a remarkable record of three pole positions in the last six years.

Leclerc has competed in 155 races for Ferrari since joining in 2019, winning eight times and currently sitting third in the drivers' championship. The Monegasque driver joined Ferrari's Driver Academy in 2016 and has risen to become the team's second-most capped driver, with 27 pole positions—second only to Michael Schumacher's 58. This new deal should see him surpass Schumacher's record of 179 starts for Ferrari.

"I couldn't be happier to continue this journey with Scuderia Ferrari HP," Leclerc stated. "It's the team I've loved and dreamt of being part of since I was a child." Team principal Fred Vasseur called the renewal "something very natural," emphasizing Leclerc's complete alignment with Ferrari's values and determination to bring the World Championship back to Maranello.
