Charles Leclerc put his signature on a brand new Ferrari contract this week, which ties him to the Formula 1 team at least through 2026. Not only did this add a few extra years to his stay at the Scuderia, but it also puts him in good financial shape.
The length of Charles Leclerc’s new Formula 1 contract was not publicly disclosed when it was announced by Ferrari, except that it was a ‘long-term’ deal.
Corriere della Sera, which is well-informed on all things Ferrari, believes that Leclerc’s new contract contains a break clause on his side to allow him to leave the team after 2026, if the team has failed to provide him a car capable of challenging for the World Championship.
If not, he is locked into the Scuderia until 2028, which in effect would be a four-year contract extension, with his previous terms set to expire at the end of the coming season.
