Charles Leclerc’s Contract and Scuderia Ferrari by Mallory Hass
Charles Leclerc, the Monegasque Formula One driver, has extended his contract with the Ferrari Formula One team until 2026. Leclerc has been racing with the Italian team since 2016 when he first joined their driver academy. He made his F1 debut with Sauber back in 2018 and quickly joined team Ferrari as soon as he was offered a seat.
Fans might find the news of his contract extension surprising, especially since Ferrari has not been atop the charts the last couple of seasons. Leclerc is known as one of the better drivers on the grid, and he could likely secure any spot that he wanted on any of the teams if an opening was provided.
Ferrari’s first season without Mattia Binotto as their team principal was last season. Instead, they hired Frédéric Vasseur in hopes that it would propel them back to the front of the constructor’s standings. Ferrari has been known to have bad strategy as a team, which is what makes Leclerc’s decision surprising.
Ferrari’s cars are typically among the fastest, but we will see if this holds up for the 2024 season when they launch their livery for 2024 on the 13th of February. It will be no surprise when they release their all red car, as they have been doing so even since the team’s debut in F1.
Monza, the Italian team’s home race, is always a highlight of the Formula One season. This year, it will be held on September 1st. Even if you are not a Ferrari fan, one cannot deny the electric feel that this circuit brings. You can feel the unity of fans and racers alike, even thousands of miles away.
As of right now, winter break is taking place among the Formula One teams, drivers, and staff. The first race of the 2024 season is in Bahrain on the 2nd of March. Most viewers will likely be expecting RedBull to, once again, quickly establish themselves as the dominant team of the bunch and propel Max Verstappen forward right from the start of the season.
Overall, Ferrari fans hope that Charles Leclerc’s decision to stick with Scuderia Ferrari will prove to be the right choice. We will all be waiting to see whether this is true when the 2024 season kicks off in March!
