Charles Leclerc has committed to Scuderia Ferrari beyond the 2024 season.

While the exact length of his new contract isn't confirmed, the French driver is set to continue his journey with the iconic red team.

Following the announcement earlier today, Leclerc, 26, expressed his joy about staying with Ferrari: 

"Wearing the Scuderia Ferrari race suit for more seasons is fantastic. This team is like a second family since I joined in 2016. We've faced challenges, and I believe the best is yet to come. I can't wait for the new season to start, to be competitive, and make progress."

Despite Leclerc's success with 23 pole positions and five wins since 2019, a championship has eluded him.

 After finishing fifth last season, the Monaco-born driver aims for more success.

"My dream is to win the World Championship with Ferrari. I'm sure we'll enjoy great times together in the years ahead," he said via Ferrari.com.

Looking Forward to the 2024 Season

Now, the focus turns to the upcoming Formula 1 season.

 Leclerc and Scuderia Ferrari are getting ready for pre-season testing at Bahrain International Circuit slated to take place from February 21 to February 23.

 This short testing period is crucial for teams to fine-tune their cars and strategies before the season starts.

Meanwhile, the Bahrain Grand Prix, kicking off the 2024 season, is set for February 29 to March 2, just a week after testing.
