Mario Andretti indicated he would welcome Charles Leclerc to the Cadillac F1 team in the future, branding himself a “big fan” of the Monegasque driver.
Mario Andretti expressed his admiration for Charles Leclerc and stated that he would be thrilled to see him join the Cadillac Formula 1 team in the future. Leclerc, currently facing a tough season with Ferrari, has yet to secure a Grand Prix victory in 2025, with only five podium finishes and one pole position to his name. Despite his struggles, Leclerc is widely recognized as one of the most talented drivers on the grid, with skills that would benefit any team. However, his strong connection with Ferrari’s fanbase and his personal goal of winning a World Championship with the team might hinder a potential move. Andretti, a Cadillac board member, is keen on Leclerc and has hinted at the possibility of signing him in the future, alongside current drivers Valtteri Bottas and Sergio Perez for the 2026 season.
