Leclerc’s new contract will be prioritised by the Scuderia before they turn to Sainz, who has offers to qui🌱t Ferrari, according to ’s Lawrence Barretto.

“Sourc๊es say Ferrari have already opened talks with Leclerc and are keen to lock him down w🍷ith a new multi-year contract,’” he reported.

“The Italian team are also believedඣ to be keen to reta♈in Sainz, though it is likely they will sort Leclerc’s contract first before getting the Spaniard’s deal finalised.

“Sainz is in a good position though. The 28-year-old is believed to be highly-ratedℱ among Ferrari’s engineers and has proved he can deliver consistencꦆy – he’s scored points in all but two races this season.

“And sources say he’s had a flurry of interest – bothꦛ formal and informal – from multiple rival teams for his services in 2025.”

It was also claimed that Leclerc spoke to Merc🧔edes, Red Bull, Aston Martin and Alp🥂ine before committing himself to Ferrari.

Sainz plans to sign a pre-agreement for the 2025 season with Audi, who are entering thꦆe championship, according to .

Ferrari team principal 🌌Fred Vasseur does not acknowledge either Leclerc or Sainz as his team’s No 1 driver.

But this has been 💫another drab year for the famous team who haven’t crowned an F1 champion since Kimi Raik𒁃konen in 2007.

They are nowhere near Red Bull and have even slipped behind Mercedes and McLareꦬn, and Aston Martin earlier in the year.
