Following the announcement earlier today, Leclerc, 26, expressed his joy about staying with Ferrari:
"Wearing the Scuderia Ferrari race suit for more seasons is fantastic. This team is like a second family since I joined in 2016. We've faced challenges, and I believe the best is yet to come. I can't wait for the new season to start, to be competitive, and make progress."
Despite Leclerc's success with 23 pole positions and five wins since 2019, a championship has eluded him.
After finishing fifth last season, the Monaco-born driver aims for more success.
"My dream is to win the World Championship with Ferrari. I'm sure we'll enjoy great times together in the years ahead," he said via Ferrari.com.
