Charles Leclerc addresses speculation surrounding his Ferrari F1 future
Charles Leclerc has made it clear that he wants to continue with Ferrari and achieve success with the team despite talks of a possible departure in 2027. Most recently, Ferrari struggled at the Singapore Grand Prix, with Leclerc finishing sixth due to brake management issues.
Ferrari’s performance has fallen behind Red Bull and Mercedes, posing challenges for Leclerc and the team in future seasons. The upcoming 2026 campaign will introduce new technical regulations, potentially impacting Ferrari’s competitiveness.
Leclerc, who has yet to experience a season-long title battle with Ferrari since joining in 2019, emphasized his loyalty and desire to win with the team during a recent interview before the United States Grand Prix. Ferrari is aiming to improve their performance in Austin, where Leclerc secured his last F1 victory 12 months ago.
Although Leclerc acknowledges the difficulties of repeating that success, he remains focused on maximizing opportunities and achieving podium finishes for Ferrari moving forward.
