However, the focus should shift to the importance of retaining Charles Leclerc, their best chance for a world title. Leclerc’s loyalty and potential success make him a crucial asset for Ferrari, and losing him would be a significant blow to their image. As Leclerc enters the peak of his career, Ferrari must provide him with a competitive car in 2026 to prevent his departure and maintain their reputation in F1.
