”I know you are worried that I could go to Mercedes, but honestly there are no negotiations.' F1
Having debuted with Ferrari back in 2019, a graduate of the Ferrari Driver Academy, Leclerc has now had a few tastes of a title battle with the Scuderia, but in 2023 the ambition is to sustain a fight until the business end of the campaign.
But before the F1 2023 campaign has even got underway, already there has been rumours that Leclerc is a Mercedes target for when their seven-time World Champion Lewis Hamilton ultimately decides to retire.said: “Let’s say Lewis stops at the end of ‘24 – let’s say ’23 and see how we go – I would imagine Toto [Wolff] is going to try and go for Charles Leclerc.
But, with Mercedes now holding initial conversations with Hamilton regarding his future, Leclerc assured that he has not been in talks with Mercedes, even though he feels no sense of urgency to extend his Ferrari deal which runs until the end of the 2024 campaign.”I know you are worried that I could go to Mercedes, but honestly there are no negotiations.
“I leave for Bahrain on Monday and I honestly can’t wait to be there. We will have three days of testing together with all the rivals.”
