When asked about his plans regarding Le Mans, Leclerc said, “It’s definitely something I want to do one day and with my brother for sure.” As for the third driver, Leclerc went for his long-time friend Antonio Fuoco.
With reports suggesting that Leclerc is on his way to signing a contract extension worth $198,500,000 that will keep him at Ferrari for the next 10 years, all of this might become a reality.
Leclerc’s Commitment to Ferrari
While there has been much discussion about Leclerc being frustrated with Ferrari, the Monegasque has repeatedly emphasized that his loyalty lies with the Scuderia. In a recent interview with Motorsports.com, Leclerc admitted that he is completely committed to his current team.
Leclerc said, “I have a huge love of Ferrari. And my first target and my first dream is to become a world champion with Ferrari, more than anything else.”
Therefore, even with the struggles that the Scuderia is currently going through, having such a strong driver committed to their cause will definitely help the team.
