Charles Leclerc seems to be the future of Ferrari as the Monegasque has brought the Italian giants back to the top in the championship fight.
Charles Leclerc has a contract with Ferrari until 2024. He debuted in the sport in 2018 with the Alfa Romeo-Sauber team.
Hailing from Monaco, Leclerc is only the fourth driver to have been able to join Formula One. When the Scuderia signed Leclerc in 2019, many had doubts.
At that time Sebastian Vettel was Leclerc’s teammate and people thought that Vettel would undermine his new teammate. However, he ended up coming out on top, claiming P4 in the Championship ahead of the German.
