Ferrari Formula 1 driver Charles Leclerc has extended his contract with Ferrari, signing a new long-term agreement. The deal was announced shortly before the Monaco Grand Prix, which takes place this weekend — a race that Leclerc, as a Monegasque, considers one of the most important events of his career.

Leclerc, who has been driving for Ferrari since 2019, has become the team's lead driver and one of the fastest pilots in the Formula 1 series. The new contract ensures his continued presence at the Maranello team for several more years, confirming the importance of the Monaco-born driver to Ferrari's future plans.

The Monaco circuit holds deep personal significance for Leclerc — he has previously finished on the podium at his home race, and fans hope that the new contract will give him extra motivation to victory precisely at his home circuit.
