Charles Leclerc gives timeline for when he expects to open talks with Ferrari over new F1 contract. Charles pinpoints when he expects Ferrari contract talks.

Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc has outlined his anticipated schedule for initiating discussions with the Maranello team regarding a fresh Formula 1 deal beyond the 2024 campaign.

Following his impressive debut season with the team in 2019, Charles Leclerc secured a five-year deal that is scheduled to conclude at the conclusion of the 2024 season.

Although there have been speculations that Charles Leclerc might consider departing Maranello due to the Italian side’s struggles in maintaining a World Championship challenge, the Monegasque driver has consistently expressed his desire to remain with Scuderia Ferrari, emphasizing that contract negotiations will commence shortly.

“On my side, we are in quite a difficult situation [with the car] at the moment, and the priority is to first focus on the job we’ve got to do with the car because we are quite far off Red Bull,” – the Ferrari man said in an interview for the Italian and international media a few days ago – “But then I am sure that at the end of the season, we will start the talks. I’ve made it clear quite a few times what my intentions are for the future, my dream has always been of being a Ferrari driver. I would love to be winning a World Championship with them, and I am not too worried about when the discussions will start. I’ve still got a year-and-a-half left on my contract now, so I am not in a rush.” – Scuderia Ferrari Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc pointed out after the Italian Grand Prix last weekend.
