Charles Leclerc has extended his contract with Ferrari until 2024. The Monégasque racer is pleased to have secured his future and is looking forward to proving his talent in years to come. 

"I am very happy to be staying on with Scuderia Ferrari," said Leclerc to Sky Sports. "This past season, driving for the most illustrious team in Formula 1 has been a dream year for me.

"I cannot wait to enjoy an even deeper relationship with the team after what has been an intense and exciting 2019. I'm keen to see what the future holds and I can't wait to get going again next season."

Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto is glad to have secured Leclerc and will hope that they can compete for a championship with him. 

"Charles has been part of our family since 2016 and we are more than proud of the results we are achieving with our Academy," Binotto said. 

"We are therefore very pleased to be able to announce that he will be with us for many years to come and I'm sure that together, we will write many new pages in the history of the Prancing Horse."

Leclerc had a very strong debut season for Ferrari and will look to build on his results in 2020.
