Asked in an interview with whethꦓer he has any conditions for a contract extension with F1’s most famous team, Leclerc said: "No, because I believe in the team 100% and trust everyone from the mechanics to the team principal.
"The team also has to believe in me too. But🤪 it's also too early to talk about a new contract.”
Leclerc reite🎉rated that he still believes he can achieve his F1 goals with Ferrari, despite the Italian outfit’s failure to provide him with a car capable of winning a championship.
"When I dream of being world champion one day, in my mind I wear a red racing suit and get out of a red car,” heꦓ said.
“Not every driver can say it openl🐬y, but I think every F1 driver would love to drive for Ferrari.
"So I'm very lucky to be part of Ferrari.”
Leclerc added: “Of course I want 𒈔to win. But the ups and downs don't make me tired.&🔯nbsp;
“In 20🍬20 and 2021 we were in a process in which we had to fight Mercedes and Red Bull again. This includes setbacks.
“In 2022 and this year we did not take the step we wanted. We ꦕhave to make up for that now.”
Asked if he would need to join Red Bull in order to become world champion, Leclerc 🔯responded: “I don’t think so.”
Leclerc also underlined his confidence in new Ferrari team principal Fred Vasseur and believes Mattia Binotto’s successor is the right m🧸an to ꦬlead the Scuderia back to F1 glory.
"Fred has a good medium and long-term vision for the team,” Leclerc explained. “I h🐟ave no doubt that he is the one who can lead Ferra🍷ri back to the top.
“Fꦉred has proven in his previous jobs that he knows whic🍨h screws to turn in order to be successful.
"Fred has a good eye for what could work even better in the individual d🐈epartments. He constantly analyses things and puts them to the test."
