Leclerc relieved as Ferrari rumors finally put to rest

When asked about the announcement of Vasseur's 'multi-year' contract, Leclerc shared, "I'm really, really happy. It's not that it's coming as a surprise, but I'm really happy."

He continued, "Especially in the past month, there were quite a few rumours, like it's always the case around the team. To finally have the official news out is important and I'm really happy."

During Ferrari's first home race, the Imola Grand Prix, rumours began to hit the media surrounding Vasseur's place within Ferrari. Leclerc had immediately thrown his support behind his team principal.

When asked how Ferrari has changed over Vasseur's time with the team, he said, "Without going into comparing the different eras, Fred has an incredible vision."

Continuing on about Vasseur he said, "Fred really knows how to leave his emotions aside and have a clear vision of where we are at no matter how much noise there is around the team. This is very, very important."
