Charles Leclerc disproved a report that contract renewal negotiations have begun with Ferrari.
The Monegasque has a little over 18 months to run on his current deal with the Scuderia, which he signed back in 2019. And Ferrari will also have to resolve the future of his team-mate Carlos Sainz in the same timeframe.
Prominent Italian Formula 1 journalist Giuliano Duchessa reported this week that talks have begun between Leclerc and his team over an extension, with chairman John Elkann supposedly personally involved in discussions. However, speaking to La Gazette de Monaco, the 25-year-old made it clear that this is not the case.
