I won’t wait. Leclerc reveals conditions for leaving Ferrari in 2026

In Formula 1, the 2026 season will start a new technical era in the championship. The teams are preparing for radically changing regulations that will deliver a different car concept, updated aerodynamics and new generation power plants. This is the beginning of such rules, which often becomes a decisive moment not only for sporting results, but also for strategic decisions within teams.

2026 could be a decisive year for Ferrari. After several seasons in which the team regularly lost momentum due to mechanical limitations, Maranello decided to change its approach to the basic concept of the car.

Against this background, Charles Leclerc’s words are becoming increasingly important, according to the Italian publication autoracer.it. The Monegasque openly admitted that the start of the 2026 season will be decisive for his future at Ferrari. According to him, if the team cannot compete at a high level once again, this could put an end to its history of cooperation with Maranello.

Separately, the futures of Lewis Hamilton and team leader Frederic Vasseur are also in danger. For the seven-time world champion, 2026 could be a chance to highlight a new generation of cars that will better suit his driving style.
