Charles Leclerc has rejected suggestions he is loꦅoking to exit the Ferrari F1 team.

Reports in Italian media have claimed that Leclerc is contempla♕ting h🎉is future at Ferrari despite being contracted to the Scuderia until 2029.

The reports suggest Leclerc is168澳洲✤幸运5官方开奖结果历史: “look🌊ing around” at potential opportunities because he has lost faith in Ferrari and grown frustrated with th♒e team's lack of competitiveness followi🐈ng a challenging start to the 2025 season.

But Leclerc has moved to rubbish the speculation by reaffirming his commitment to Ferrari and stating his “surprise” at the ru🌜mours.

“I’m very surprised. I mean, I have no idea from where it’s coming from. So, yeah, I’d rather just ignore it," Leclerc said ahead of this weekend's F1 Canadian Grand Prix. 

“I’ve never said anything🥃 of this in the last few races. If anything, I keep saying how much I love the team and how much I want to bring back Ferrari to the top. So I was surprised.

“We surely have a vision that we share as 𒀰[a] three. You know, Fred, Lewis aꦬnd myself, in order to try and get back to winning.

“And we’ve been working to put that all together. And so, yeah, this is for sure our pl🐎an. And I think we shoul🉐d stick to it.”

Leclerc sits fifth in the drivers’ championship, 92 points behind McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri after just nine races, while Ferrari are a gigantic 197 points adrift of McLaren in the constructor🥀s' standing𝐆s.

Leclerc unfazed by Ferrari rumours

Leclerc was quick to point out that speculation surroꦜunding Fe🧸rrari and the team’s performance is nothing new for him.

“The pressure, we are already putting ourselves under a lot of pressure. 💞Then, of course, there 🧜are some talks that it’s not something that you want to hear,” he said.

“But the pressure is normal toꦚ have it. When you are working for Ferrari, second is nev💜er good enough. But we are all aware of it.

“So it’s not like the outsi𒈔de pressure is having any influence on the pressure that we put ourselves first. We want to be winning. And as I keep saying, it’s not good enough.

“But I’m not♋ the only one to say that all the team knows that it’s ཧnot good enough and that Ferrari should be winning.

“And that’s what we are putting all our thoughts into, is to try and bring Ferrari back to th🎉e top. At the moment, McLaren is a stronger team and it’s up to us to react.

“But yeah, we definitely need t꧟o forget everything about what is said around the team. But I think that’s something I got used to with the years.

“Obviously, there are times where you’ve got more rumours to deal with, and mostly with you, because the questions are obviously directed into certain topics and it’s not always a nice thing to do. But I understa♈nd it.

“And at the end of the day🌼, that’s how Ferrari is and has always been. So you’ve got to deal with it. But I don’t think we are affected by it.”
