      "Other options were available"

      Charles Leclerc has revealed that his management looked into options outside of Ferrari prior to him signing his latest contract with the team. In an appearance on Formula 1’s Beyond The Grid podcast, Leclerc mentioned that he did not engage in discussions with competitor teams himself, but his manager examined the landscape. "I didn’t have any personal talks, but my manager did," he stated. "It's his responsibility to keep me informed and provide a complete view of what’s happening in the paddock and what opportunities we might explore." "So, yes, there were other options, but ultimately, we sat down with Ferrari and reached an agreement quite swiftly." Leclerc noted that team principal Frederic Vasseur played a significant role in his decision to remain with Ferrari. "Fred is a major reason why I decided to sign again," said the Monegasque driver. "I have complete faith in Fred." "For me, there was no question that this was the right choice."
