Maranello, Italy: Ferrari has extended the contract of Charles Leclerc, ensuring the Monegasque driver remains with the Formula One team for the coming seasons.

The 28 year old said staying with Ferrari was a dream come true, describing the team as a second family and reaffirming his commitment to helping bring the Formula One world championship back to Maranello.
