Lec🍨lerc’s new contract will be prioritised by the Scuderia before they turn to Sainz, who has offers to quit Ferrari, according to ’s Lawrence Barretto.

“Sources say Ferrari have already opened talks with Leclerc and are kee🦹n to lock him down with🍸 a new multi-year contract,’” he reported.

“The Italian team are also believed to be keen to retain Sainz, though it is likely they will sort Leclerc’s contract first before gettin𒊎g the Spaniard’s deal finalised.

“Sainz is in a good position though. T♔he 28-year-old is believed to be high🐟ly-rated among Ferrari’s engineers and has proved he can deliver consistency – he’s scored points in all but two races this season.

“And sources 𒁃say he’s had a flurry of interest – both for🌊mal and informal – from multiple rival teams for his services in 2025.”

It was ꦕalso claimed that Leclerc spoke to Mercedes, Red Bull, Aston Martin and Alpine before committing hi𒊎mself to Ferrari.

They are nowhere near Red Bul♏l and have even slipped behind Mercedes and McLaren, and Aston Martin earlier in the year.
