Charles Leclerc, who has been participating in Formula 1 since 2018, recently announced his commitment to Aston Martin until 2026. The talented driver praised Fernando Alonso’s skills and expressed his own desire to explore other racing categories before turning 43. Leclerc believes that F1 should find a balance between experienced drivers and new talents to ensure the vitality and freshness of the sport.
Since joining Ferrari in 2019, Charles Leclerc has consistently shown exceptional performance in qualifying, securing 23 poles for the team. However, this season has presented challenges for him, especially in Australia and Japan, where his teammate outperformed him in qualifying. Leclerc acknowledged that Alonso seems more comfortable in qualifying, but he has been diligently working in the simulator to improve his tire warming skills for the upcoming race in China.
With his determination and skills, Leclerc, who carries the number 16, hopes to make a strong comeback at the Chinese Grand Prix. As the current leader of the Ferrari team in the championship, he aims to earn valuable points both in qualifying and the race, competing against his in-form teammate, Carlos Sainz.
