Charles Leclerc will have to wait for a new Ferrari contract after his new boss made it clear a new deal for the Monegasque is "not the priority".
Leclerc's current contract runs until the end of the 2024 campaign, having caused a bit of a stir when he signed that five-year deal at the end of 2019. While contracts of such length are common in football, F1 terms tend to run over shorter periods – though Max Verstappen's Red Bull extension until 2028, penned last year, is a notable exception.
With less than two years left to run on his deal, Ferrari fans may start to get a little nervous over Leclerc's future. Recent speculation linking him with a future move to Mercedes will also not calm the nerves of the Tifosi.
