At Ferrari, the contracts of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz will expire after the 2024 season. The goal of both drivers seems to be to stay with the team in the long term, but the official deal has not been signed yet.
In fact, contrary to what was claimed, the parties did not start new contract negotiations and it was said that this would not be done before the end of the year.
However, Ferrari has decided to meet with both Leclerc and Sainz around the Japanese GP. There will be a series of preliminary talks before this, but serious discussions will take place at the end of September, when the Japanese GP will take place.
Following these talks, the parties are expected to sign new agreements at the end of the year.
Speaking on the subject, Ferrari boss Frederic Vasseur said: "Contract extension talks will start - seriously - at the earliest after Japan." said.
“The deals will be signed in the winter.”
In particular, Sainz mentioned that it would be important for him to sign an agreement before the new season. The Spanish pilot feels that having a long-term deal helps him do his job better.
Sainz's name is also associated with Audi, but the Spanish driver's first goal is to stay in the team.
