One Red Bull chief believes Charles Leclerc may well be able to get out of his current Ferrari contract if he wanted to pursue a move to a rival team.
The Monegasque was given a five-year deal back in 2019 as the Italians signalled their intention to build their future around him. And they returned to the title fight last season as hoped, giving Leclerc hope that Ferrari would help him to achieve his personal Formula 1 ambitions.
But, since then, their progress appears to have stalled. Despite plenty of positive noises coming out of Maranello in pre-season, Ferrari have endured a wretched start to the new season with more reliability woes, while their car performance cannot match that of the Red Bull cars.
