Ferrari transferred Leclerc and Saint’s contracts to the new year
Scuderia director Fred Wasser has assured Italian journalists that new contracts will be signed with Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz before the start of next season (early March 2024). New information on a three-year contract with the Monegasque and two years with the Spaniard.
Both Maranello drivers’ contracts expire at the end of 2024, and although Ferrari had intended to announce its rumored new multi-year deal with Charles Leclerc on Christmas Eve, this will not happen. Now, according to the Italian press, the official announcements of Monegasque and Carlos Sainz’s new contracts will take place from the new year.
Wasser explained that the reason for the delay was Ferrari’s frantic effort to improve the SF-23 at the end of the 2023 season and thereby take second place in the constructors’ championship against Mercedes. In the midst of all this, there was no time to finalize all the details of the new contracts.
Nevertheless, the Frenchman said with certainty that Leclerc-Sainth will stay with Scuderia beyond 2024. For the former, there was almost no doubt, but for Saith, recent reports suggested that negotiations had broken down, as the Spaniard wanted at least a two-year contract, while Ferrari offered him a one-year deal with the option of a further year.
Spanish journalists pressed Vasseur for answers during the Scuderia’s Christmas dinner with journalists, and the Frenchman replied: “As you know, [οι Λεκλέρ-Σάινθ] You are under contract with us until the end of 2024, which means we still have a few months ahead of us. This year the Mercedes extended the contracts of its two drivers for 2024 at the end of August.
So I think we still have weeks and months ahead of us. A year ago I told you that I would try to make a decision by the end of this year, but I have to admit that the last part of the year was very demanding.
We have met and started our discussions, but we are a little behind our original plan. I don’t see any problem with that at all. We will make our decision soon.”, Water added. And when asked if the new contracts will be signed before the start of next season, he replied “yes”. “That is the goal”.
However, it should be noted that Carlos Sainz plays a crucial role in the 2025 transfer puzzle, as his name has been heard by half of all teams in the sport – from Sauber and Alpine earlier this year to McLaren and Aston Martin more recently. And many argue that he may choose a different path if Scuderia prioritizes Leclerc in the coming years.
Wasser was asked about it and he replied: I still remember a year ago in this very room receiving a lot of questions about “Charles will be the No. 1 driver and Carlos will be the No. 2 driver in the team.” But we have shown several times that we make sure that our two drivers are treated equally. I think Singapore was the perfect example.
There Charles agreed to start on the soft tire to overtake Russell and control his pace just to help Carlos. We have two drivers who do a good job. Carlos was very strong after the summer break with an excellent two days in Monza and Singapore and that proved to be motivation for Charles as we saw at the end of the season.
We will continue in this direction. I don’t want to have a good driver and a runner-up, we have two cars and two valuable drivers and I think one of the positive aspects of the season was the performance of Carlos and Charles. They gave the team practically the same points, with a small difference, and we want to continue like that.”concluded Fred Wasser.

‘Three’ VAR interventions for Leganes vs Valladolid
what happened there yesterday Leganes-Valladolid The second-division match ended in a 3-0 victory on home soil, but required intervention three times. VAR. Two of them also included Jose Antonio López Toca in the VOR room, called by Manuel Jesús Orellana Cid for two consecutive penalties immediately after the start of the game.
The first incident occurred five minutes into the match, following a handball by Iván Alejo in the area that was not initially seen by the referee. That’s when he received a notification from VAR. “Manuel, would you recommend a review so that we can assess the possibility of a penalty for handball?” When he got to the monitor, he said, “Okay, it looked perfect. Make it dynamic, Jose, I already saw him shake hands.” From the VOR, they provided him with another camera “also from behind the goal.” Once there was no doubt in the vision, he said, “OK, perfect, we’re going to restart with a penalty, OK, Jose.”
The penalty was taken by Juan Cruz, but it was cleared by Valladolid goalkeeper Guilherme. However, as the Leganés striker attempted to grab the rebound, he was tackled from behind by Jaouab and was brought down, receiving another warning from the VOR. “Manuel recommends a review so we can assess the possibility of a penalty. Please let us know when you get to the screen.”
In the background, a voice can be heard shouting “Out, Mr. Out” as the referee reaches the monitor. And he stood in front of it and he said, “Okay, Jose, it’s on the screen. One second, one second. Okay, I want to see the number of the guy who’s doing that…Okay, yes, it’s very clear.” And he claimed, “I want to know this player’s number, because it’s yellow, so who’s going to penalize it?” From VAR they confirm, “Yes, we understand, number 23.” To which the referee replied: “Okay, number 23, perfect. We’ll restart with a penalty and a yellow card, understand Jose?”
VOR is wrong about Guilherme
And the final intervention occurred in the 89th minute of the match as a result of Valladolid goalkeeper Guilherme leaving the area in an attempt to put Naim ahead. The referee directly punished him with a red card, but because they understood that it was not a sending off, again from the VOR: “Manu, we recommend that you reconsider so that we can assess the cancellation of the red card, okay?” Arriving in front of the monitor, López Toca requests to be shown the moment from VAR, López Toca explains from VAR. “Okay, look, I thought the reason I called you was because the goalie touched the ball. Okay, first of all, the impact is the lower back. You evaluate that and make the decision that you think is appropriate.”
The referee replied, “Okay, let’s see. I know how he touches the ball. I’d like to see how he moves.” They don’t let go of the ball, so the referee asks, “I want to see the touch of the ball, see how it moves when it touches the ball, etc.”
They then provided him with the images, but he requested that the camera be brought closer to him. “Let’s look a little further back, Jose, a little more back.” And then he understood: “All right, he touched the ball. All right, again, all right. All right, Jose, what I saw was that he obviously touched the ball. It’s true that the contact came later. I’ve never played rough. It’s not even a foul for me. All right, I’ll pick up where I dropped the ball. All right, because to me it’s not even a foul. All right, Jose.”
