Ferrari extend Monegasque racer Charles Leclerc's Formula One contract by another five years

Firstpost  

Ferrari have extended Charles Leclerc’s Formula One contract for five more years and to the end of the 2024 season, the Italian team announced on Monday. Leclerc also finished fourth overall and above four-times world champion team mate Sebastian Vettel, whose contract expires at the end of 2020, in the season’s standings. I’m keen to see what the future holds and I can’t wait to get going again next season.” The decision makes Leclerc central to the team’s long-term plans, with Vettel’s future far from certain after seeing his authority steadily eroded in a 2019 campaign clouded by mistakes. “With each passing race this year, our wish to extend our contract with Charles became ever more self-evident and the decision means he will now be with us for the next five seasons,” he said.
