One of the teams Leclerc’s manager is said to have spoken with is Aston Martin. To mitigate these risks, Ferrari is reportedly maintaining contact with Carlos Sainz, who is set to leave the team after 2024. Once the unquestioned dream destination for drivers, Ferrari now faces the prospect of losing its brightest star if it fails to deliver on its promise of titles. For Leclerc, the decision will ultimately hinge on whether Ferrari can provide him with the tools to achieve what has so far eluded him.
