Leclerc is out of contrac🧸t at the end of 2024, with his future a hot topic.

The Monegasque has been linked with a move to Mercedes should 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton call time on his care👍er for 2025, while Aston Martin has been mooted as an option, first suggested by Ralf♚ Schumacher.

Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Austrian Grand Prix, Leclerc made clear that he doesn’t have any ꧋“particular deadlines” ꦇfor his new F1 deal.

“No, I don’t have any particular deadlineဣs,” he said. “I mean, Iܫ still feel like a year-and-a-half is a long way to go. But I didn’t tell myself any particular deadlines.

“Slowly. We’re starti﷽ng slowly 🌠to speak about it, yes.”

Leclerc admitted that the to𓄧pic of his future isn’t really on his mind as he refused to get drawn on potentially leaving Ferrari.

“To be honest, it’s not reall𝐆y on my mind yet,” he said when asked about options outside of Ferrari.

“When I say we slow🐓ly started talking about it, it’s just here and there, but nothing special, nothing specific. Again, I feel like it’s a long way to go and I don’t feel it’s now the time to start talking about it.”

It’s also new territory for Leclerc, whose career pat𓄧h was destined for Ferrari when he stepped into F1 in 2018 with Sauber.

Given Ferrari’s stuttering form a💧s of late, he may be tempted to jump ship.

“It’s probably the first time in my career that I’m🐲 in this pos๊ition,” he added.

“I don’t think🦹 [that’s] because nobody wanted me in the past, it’s 🎃just because the nature of the contract it’s the first time in my career that I actually get closer to a deal to end in F1

“And all of the other changes I’ve made until now – basically Saꦇuber to Ferrari was quite straigh𓄧tforward. So, it is a different situation I find myself in in my career.

“But I don’t mind – I’m just focusing on driving, I just hope to win as quickly as possible in Ferrari for now and then we will see.”
