Charles Leclerc will stay with Ferrari’s Formula 1 team for “several more seasons” after signing a new long-term contract. At the end of last year, Leclerc was rumoured to have been close to inking a mega five-year deal with Ferrari that would have kept him there until 2029. Now Ferrari has confirmed it will retain

It’s puzzling that Ferrari’s formal confirmation of Charles Leclerc’s long-touted new deal to drive for the team in Formula 1 hasn’t been accompanied by the announcement that Carlos Sainz is also staying on. Ferrari must prioritise getting a signature on that new contract, too, given it has a formidable driver line-up. You can make a

The world of Formula 1 got its biggest driver contract news of 2024 yet with the announcement of Charles Leclerc’s long-anticipated-but-still-newsworthy Ferrari contract extension until twenty-twenty-uhmm… yeah. Let’s try this again. Charles Leclerc has finally committed his post-2024 future to Ferrari with a multi-year deal, with ‘multi-year’ meaning anything from two to infinite. He also

Just how long is each current Formula 1 driver’s contract and when will they expire? It’s a key detail to any F1 silly season, so here – from our understanding of what can often be a very private process – is the current expiry date of each 2024 F1 driver’s contract. It’s important to note

Lando Norris has signed a new multi-year contract with McLaren for an undisclosed duration that the Formula 1 team says keeps him committed for the “long-term”. Norris has raced only for McLaren in F1 since making his debut with the team in 2019 and signed a four-year deal in early 2022 that ran until the

Barely a day after Charles Leclerc’s new contract at Ferrari was formally announced, McLaren now has its long-time Formula 1 prospect Lando Norris locked into what it’s describing as a “long-term” agreement – like Leclerc’s, the end point in undisclosed. What we do know is McLaren’s line-up is now set to remain unchanged until at

Quashing rumours of a shock Red Bull switch is one of the motives behind Lando Norris’s new long-term commitment to McLaren’s Formula 1 team. Norris has removed himself from what’s expected to be a very volatile F1 driver market for the next couple of years by signing a new multi-year contract with McLaren. He remains

Two of F1’s best drivers have signed new long-term deals on the eve of the 2024 season that have more wide-reaching consequences than both of them staying put might initially suggest. Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc are sticking with the status quo by betting on McLaren and Ferrari respectively, and in doing so are removing

Why are McLaren and Ferrari refusing to reveal how long they’ve secured Lando Norris and Charles Leclerc for in their new long-term Formula 1 driver deals? Does Norris’s new McLaren commitment definitively end the ongoing storyline of whether he’ll eventually join Red Bull? And why are drivers of Norris and Leclerc’s calibre making early commitments

Lando Norris’s new “long-term” McLaren deal oddly does little to change his position in Formula 1’s driver market. Prior to the new contract, the question was whether someone (that someone being Red Bull) might write a big enough cheque to extract him from his McLaren deal. That question is left hanging, albeit extended beyond the
