Charles Leclerc, who has been participating in Formula 1 since 2018, recently announced his commitment to Aston Martin until 2026. The talented driver praised Fernando Alonso’s skills and expressed his own desire to explore other racing categories before reaching the age of 43. Leclerc believes that F1 should strike a balance between experienced drivers and new talents to ensure the vitality and freshness of the sport.
Since joining Ferrari in 2019, Charles Leclerc has consistently displayed exceptional qualifying performance, earning 23 poles for the team. However, this season has posed challenges for him, particularly in Australia and Japan, where his teammate outperformed him in qualifying. Leclerc acknowledged that Alonso appears more comfortable in qualifying trim, but he has been diligently working in the simulator to improve his tire warming-up skills for the upcoming race in China.
With his determination and skills, Leclerc, who holds the number 16, is expected to make a strong comeback at the Chinese Grand Prix. As the current leading driver for Ferrari in the championship, he aims to secure valuable points in both qualifying and the race, competing against his in-form teammate, Carlos Sainz.
