Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc decided to renew his deal with the team, keeping him with the Italian powerhouse through his physical prime. Leclerc is a rare driver to show extreme loyalty to a team in F1, and they have responded with their own support of the driver. The Monegasque is the face of Ferrari, without a doubt, even with Lewis Hamilton joining, a true testament to his abilities and standing with the team.
He dominated Hamilton in 2025, outclassing the seven-time World Champion, and leclerc has been one of the best drivers in the sport. May 23, 2026; Montreal, Quebec, CANADA; Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc (16) during Lenovo Grand Prix Du Canada sprint race at Circuit Gilles-Villeneuve. Mandatory.
Any team in F1 would jump at a chance to add him to their lineup, but at least for the next few years, he will be a member of Ferrari.“I couldn’t be happier to continue this journey with Scuderia Ferrari HP,” 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.“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.”What is Charles Leclerc’s contract?
There are no exact details on his contract, with the team only announcing that it will be for the “coming seasons.” It will likely lead him into a new regulation cycle, a marker that teams usually set. As the lead driver for the biggest team on the grid, Leclerc will be paid handsomely, likely only second to his teammate, Lewis Hamilton, who has a bigger name and reputation, as well as greater commercial value.
