Scuderia Ferrari HP have announced a multi-year renewal of their contract with Charles Leclerc, who will thus continue to drive for the Italian Formula One team.
The Monégasque’s contract renewal with Ferrari arrives ahead of the 2026 F1 Monaco Grand Prix, which will take place later this weekend.
Leclerc, a former member of the Ferrari Driver Academy, made his Formula One debut back in 2018 with Sauber before joining Ferrari in 2019. Since then, he has been looked at as the team’s talisman, someone who can bring back the team’s championship-winning glory days. The 28-year-old currently has eight career wins from 176 starts and 52 podium finishes.
On continuing with Ferrari, Charles Leclerc commented:
“I couldn’t be happier to continue this journey with Scuderia Ferrari HP. It has always been so much more than just a team to me. It’s the team I’ve loved and dreamt of being part of since I was a child, and after all these years it has become a second family. Together we’ve shared incredible moments and some tougher ones, but I believe in this team more than ever, and I’m deeply grateful that we will keep pushing side by side toward our shared goal of bringing the World Championship back to Maranello. Being a Ferrari driver is a dream, but it’s also a responsibility I never take for granted. I’ll continue to give absolutely everything I have to bring this team back to where it belongs, at the very top, for everyone in Maranello, and above all for the tifosi, whose passion is the heartbeat of this Scuderia.”
Fred Vasseur, Ferrari Team Principal:
“Charles has been part of the Ferrari family for many years now and this renewal feels like something very natural for us. Over these seasons we have seen him grow, to become not only one of the strongest drivers in Formula 1, but also a person who is completely at one with the team and everything Ferrari represents. We appreciate his talent, we love his determination and the way he approaches every day with the people in the Scuderia, both on and off the track. We know how much this project means to him and we are happy to continue working towards our shared goals.”
