Charles Leclerc addressed the fans.

      Today, Ferrari released an official statement about the extension of the contract with Charles Leclerc. The team does not specify the terms of the agreement, only clarifying that the Monegasque will compete for Scuderia in the "upcoming seasons." Almost simultaneously with the news of the contract extension, Charles addressed fans on social media. "When I came to Ferrari, I was a child living a dream," wrote Charles Leclerc. "Like many drivers before me, I grew up understanding that Ferrari meant something more than just a team, and it still does. Ferrari is not just a symbol. It is a passion that I felt long before I first found myself next to the red suit. When you love something with all your heart and dream about it day and night, and then that dream becomes a reality, it is no longer just racing. It is family. Over the past ten years, Ferrari has truly become family to me. Together we have experienced some of the most emotional moments in my life. Victories that I will never forget, and tough times that caused real pain. Perhaps that is what makes our bond so special. I know that in Formula 1, people will always question your decisions, but when it comes to Ferrari, for me, the answer has always been clear because I wholeheartedly believe in this connection and in the values that the team embodies. I believe that loyalty and trust truly matter. In a world where everything changes too quickly, these values mean even more to me today than before. The new contract is not just about the future. It is also about everything we have already gone through together and the legacy we continue to carry forward. Being a Ferrari driver is not only a huge honor but also a great responsibility, which I have never taken for granted. I will continue to give this team everything I have to help return to the top. I want to thank all the people in Maranello who dedicate themselves to this team every day. And I want to thank you, tifosi. Your passion is one of the main reasons why Ferrari remains so special. Your support all these years has meant much more to me than I can express in words. The dream is still alive, and I am proud to continue pursuing it together with you. Forza Ferrari!"
