Charles Leclerc has signed a new multiyear contract to remain with Ferrari, the team announced on the eve of his home race, the Monaco Grand Prix. The 28-year-old Monégasque driver has been with the Scuderia since 2019 and will continue alongside Lewis Hamilton, who also holds a long-term deal.
Leclerc has competed in 155 races for Ferrari, a tally second only to Michael Schumacher's tenure from 1996 to 2006. He has secured eight wins and 27 pole positions, with his best championship finish being second in 2022. He currently sits third in the 2025 standings, three points ahead of Hamilton.
“I couldn’t be happier to continue this journey with Ferrari,” Leclerc said. “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.”
Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur expressed confidence in Leclerc, stating: “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 One but also a person who is completely at one with the team and everything Ferrari represents.”
Leclerc joined the Ferrari academy in 2016, won the Formula 2 title in 2017, and made his F1 debut with Sauber in 2018 before being promoted to Ferrari. He won his home race for the first time in 2024, and the team expects the Ferrari to be well-suited to the Monaco circuit this weekend.
