“Sources say Ferrari have already opened talks with L🐬eclerc and are keen to lock him down with a new multi-year contract,’” he reported.

“The Italian team are als🍎o believed to be keen to retain Sainz, though it is likel🔯y they will sort Leclerc’s contract first before getting the Spaniard’s deal finalised.

“Sainz is in a good position though. The 28-year-old is believed t꧂o be highly-rated among Ferrari🥀’s engineers and has proved he can deliver consistency – he’s scored points in all but two races this season.

“And sources say he’s had a flurry of interest – both formal and infor꧋mal – from multiple rival teams for his services in 2025♔.”

It was also claimed that Leclerc spoke to Mercedes, Red Bull, Aston Martin and Alpine before committ🐼ing himself to Ferrari.

Sainz plans to s�🌞�ign a pre-agreement for the 2025 season with Audi, who are entering the championship, according to .
