Charles Leclerc has labelled stability within Ferrari as a “very important” element for success going forward.
After a period of speculation over his future, team principal Fred Vasseur recently penned a new multi-year agreement to remain in the day-to-day leadership role at Ferrari.
The Frenchman has been in the position since the start of the 2023 campaign and led a successful 2024 season that saw Ferrari narrowly miss out on its first constructors' championship since 2008.
As Ferrari continues to search for an end to its title drought, Leclerc asserted a change in leadership would not have been the right direction for the team.
“I'm not the one making the decisions, but I think stability is always very important,” Leclerc told media including RacingNews365.
“Fred is the person we look up to and the person leading the team.”
Ferrari is seeking to enter the sport's new era under fresh technical regulations next year in title contention.
Leclerc, who is in his seventh season racing for Ferrari, hailed Vasseur as the right figure to lead the team going forward as it hopes to add to its title tally.
“To have him for many more years is definitely a good thing, also because in Formula 1 it takes time to build something, especially a successful team,” he added.
“I'm very happy about that.
“Knowing that I'll be able to have Fred alongside me for more years makes me optimistic for the future.”
