[Saba Sports News] The Ferrari F1 Team has
announced the contract renewal of driver Charles Leclerc. Leclerc’s association
with Ferrari dates back to his time before entering Formula 1 when he joined
the Ferrari Driver Academy in 2016. In his debut season, he won the F3 series
title. Following his impressive performance in the 2017 Formula 2 championship,
Leclerc earned his F1 license. He then spent a year refining his skills with
Sauber before making his debut for Ferrari in 2019. In that same year, Leclerc
became the youngest driver in Ferrari’s history to win a Grand Prix. In the

F1 car, he holds an impressive record of achieving multiple pole positions
while driving for Ferrari, ranking second on the list of drivers in the team’s

his happiness in representing Ferrari in the upcoming seasons. Racing for
Ferrari has been his lifelong dream since he was three years old, and the team
has become like a second home to him. He looks forward to pursuing the World
Championship title with Ferrari.
