Fred Wasser– commented the group leader.
Charles’ connection to the Scuderia goes beyond driver and team: he has been part of the Ferrari family for eight years. Their values and those of our team are intertwined, so it was natural that we agreed to expand our cooperation.
Vasseur highlighted the Monegasque’s “extraordinary ability to fight and overtake in a race” and added.
We are determined to give Charles a winning car and I know his determination and drive are the elements that can help us achieve our goals.
For his part, Leclerc was very happy to continue wearing the red suit “for a few more seasons” and said.
Racing for this team has been my dream since I was three years old. This team is my second family. The best is yet to come, I’m looking forward to this season to continue to improve and be competitive in every race. My dream is still to win the world championship with Ferrari.
In an interview with the media, the Monegasque admitted that it was “an incredible honor” to continue working for Ferrari, a team that “believed” in his potential and “helped him secure a place in Formula 1.”
We have had very good days with Ferrari in the past and we have had other very difficult days, but we have grown together and are now continuing this story, which I am very happy about. My goal is obviously to get Ferrari back to the top, back to the top of the world championship. I will do absolutely everything to make this happen together.
