TO charles leclerc He has a year and a half left on his contract with Ferrari. Rumors about a possible exit follow one another. In recent days there has even been talk of a ‘move’ towards Aston Martin, one of the teams that has surprised the most in this Formula 1 with Fernando Alonso as a pilot.
In the preview of Austrian Grand Prix Leclerc has spoken for the first time about a possible renewal. “We’re slowly starting to talk about it, yeah”has commented, although making it clear that nothing important: “When I say that little by little we began to talk about it, they are only words, but nothing special, nothing specific.”
“I love Ferrari, I am happy here. Ferrari has been the team that has helped me get to where I am. I have never hidden that I have always been very happy to be a Ferrari driver,” said the Monegasque.
He says that no one is happy in Maranello with the current situation, very far from victories: “The team and I are not happy with where we are at the moment, but I think we are all working in the right direction. And, again, I love Ferrari, I am happy here” .
“No one has wanted me in the past, it’s just because it’s the first time in my career that I’ve really come close to an end of contract in the Formula 1. So it’s a different situation that I’m in right now. But it doesn’t matter to me: I just focus on driving, I hope to win as soon as possible at Ferrari and then we’ll see”, he declared.
Vasseur doesn’t want to talk about it
Fred Vasseurhead of Ferrari, does not want to know anything about renewals: “To speak only of drivers today would be a mistake for the steps we have to take as a team. The priority is that the drivers work together to develop the car.”
“Then, during the summer, or after, We’ll start talking about it…“, he sentenced.
