Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc will race for the Maranello team alongside Carlos Sainz for at least another two years, after Ferrari officially announced a contract extension for the Spanish driver until the end of the 2024 Formula 1 season. Ahead of the 2022 Emilia Romagna Grand Prix at the Imola circuit, Charles Leclerc was asked about the importance of stability for a Formula 1 team and for a driver:
How important is the factor stability?
Charles Leclerc: “It is very important for many reasons. Obviously I know this because I signed a very long contract with Ferrari and to know that you are in the same place for many years to come is great for confidence. It is great for feeling good mentally, and obviously work in long-term, which always have its benefits. And again, we are a very strong driver line-up. We keep pushing each other races after races. It is great for the team and ourselves.”
So two more years with Carlos, tell us about it!
Charles Leclerc: “Oh no (laughs). No, I am very happy. Obviously Carlos is a great guy other than just a very good driver too. We have a very good relationship. We also work together very well. But I think what is the most important is that we also have the same feedback. We need the same things from the car and this is extremely important for the future of the team. And this has been the case for the last year and a half and I think we already have seen the benefits, so having Carlos in the team for next two years is great.”
