‘Earthquake’ in Ferrari? Talented Leclerc thinks about leaving …
Despite the euphoria that followed Lewis Hamilton’s arrival, the 2025 season turned into a bitter disappointment for Ferrari. The Italian constructor is behind almost 200 points for leading McLaren, and dreams of the championship title are re -delayed. This situation, according to the Italian media like Corriere della Seracreates deep cracks in Maranell, and the loudest echoes rumors about the driver’s possible departure Charles Leclerca and the team chief Freda Vaseur.
“Golden Cage” and Escaping Clause
Leclerc, who made a boy’s dream by driving for Ferrari, is increasingly difficult to bear the role of an eternal talent without a title. He will soon turn 28 years old and is aware that the Formula One championships are rarely won after the thirties. Although he signed a long -term contract until 2029 at the beginning of the year, the Italian media states that there are exit clauses that could be activated as early as this season.
The concept of a « golden cage », world glory and wealth without winning trophies, becomes a growing source of his frustration. His fear is that he will find himself in the unconcactional car of the new rules 2026, which could encourage him to take the opportunity to leave.
Hamilton’s advice and Vassur’s uncertain future
Additional tension also creates internal dynamics. Lewis Hamilton allegedly insists that the team gives up developing a troubled SF-25 car and directs all resources to 2026, when new technical rules enter into force. The seven -time champion feels frustrated and insufficiently heard, and his opinion creates pressure on the head of Fred Vassur’s team.
Vassur’s position is no longer safe, and the top of Scuderie is allegedly reviewing his role. Antonello Coletta, a successful head of the Ferrari Wec program, is mentioned as a possible heir that lower endurance races.
Who is waiting in line for Monegasanin?
If Leclerc decides to leave, the option would not be missing. Mercedes is most mentioned, whose boss Toto Wolff never hid sympathy for Leclerca, and once admitted that he was sorry he failed to bring him before signing a new contract with Ferrari.
Since George Russell has not yet extended the contract, the door of silver arrows could be open. Aston Martin is also imposed as a potential, though risky, destination.
Ferrari is at a turning point. The future of the car for 2026. It will not only decide on the competitiveness of the team, but also the fate of the driver who was to become a symbol of their return to the top. The love between Leclerca and Ferrari is unquestionable, but without victory with the threat of another unconcactional era, even the greatest love can end with a painful interruption.
