New Ferrari F1 team principal Frederic Vasseur says a fresh contract for Charles Leclerc is not his immediate priority despite rumours linking the Monegasque to Mercedes
It has been speculated that Leclerc is being targeted by Mercedes for when seven-time world championHamilton’s current deal expires at the end of 2023 but he is expected to sign a new two-year extension, though nothing has yet been confirmed.
But speaking in his first press call since taking over as Ferrari’s new boss, Vasseur downplayed the importance of a contract extension for Leclerc. "I don't want to put this topic on the table today, I think it wouldn't be a good way to start the collaboration,” he said. "We have to be focused on the sporting side, to get results. And it's like for the wedding, if both sides of the table are happy with the situation, that we will continue.
"But I think it's not the priority today. We have a good relationship. And we'll have time to discuss about this.
