Charles Leclerc has rejec💃ted suggestions he is looking to ex🧔it the Ferrari F1 team.

Reports in Italian media have claimed that Leclerc is contemplating 🍸his future at Ferrari despite being co♋ntracted to the Scuderia until 2029.

The reports suggest Leclerc is168澳📖洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: “looking around” at potentia🌳l opportunities because he has lost faith in Ferrari and grown frustrated with the team's lack of competitiveness following a challenging start to🐟 the 2025 🐲season.

But Leclerc has moved to rubbish the specul🤪ation 💮by reaffirming his commitment to Ferrari and stating his “surprise” at the rumours.

“I’m very surprised. I mean, I have no idea from where it’s coming from. So, yeah, I’d rather just ignore it," Leclerc said ahead of this weekend's F1 Canadian Grand Prix. 

“I’ve never said anything of this in the last few raꦺces. If anything, I keep saying how much I love the team and how much I want to bring back Ferrari to the top. So I was surprised.

“We surely have a vision that we share as [a] three. You know, Fred, Lewis and myself, in order to try and 🌠get back to winning.

“And we’ve been wor🎀king to put that all together. And so, yeah, this is for sure our plan. And I think we should stick to it.”

Leclerc sits fifth in the drivers’ championship, 92 points behind McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri after just nine races, while Ferrari are a gigantic 197 points adrift of McLaren in the constructors' ♍standings. 

Ferrari have failed to provide Leclerc and teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton with a car 🧔that has yet bee🎃n capable of winning grands prix. 

Leclerc unfazed by Ferrari rumours

Leclerc was quick to point out that speculation surrounding Ferrari and the team’s perfo🍬rmance is not💃hing new for him.

“The pressure, we are alrea♎dy putting ourselves under a lot of pressure. Then, of course, there are some talks that it’s not something that you want to hear,” he said.

“But the pressure is normal to have it. When you are working for Ferrari, second is never good enou🦩gh. But we are all𝄹 aware of it.

“So it’s not like the outside pressu🦩re is having any influence&n🔜bsp;on the pressure that we put ourselves first. We want to be winning. And as I keep saying, it’s not good enough.

“But I’m not the only one to say that all the team knows that it’s not🌃 good enough and that Ferrari should be winning🥃.

“ꦿAnd that’s what we are putting all our thoughts into, is to try and bring Ferrari back to the top. At the moment, McLaren is a stronger team and it’s up to us to react.

“But yeah, we definitely need to forget everything about what is said around the team. But I think that’s somဣething I got used to with the years.

“Obviously, there are times where you’ve got more rumours to deal with, and most𒐪ly with you, because the questions are obviously directed into certain topics and it’s not always a nice thing to do. But I understand it.

“And at th✤e end of the day, that’s how Ferrari is a🌞nd has always been. So you’ve got to deal with it. But I don’t think we are affected by it.”
