Charles Leclerc says he would not leave Ferrari even if a rival team offered to double his salary. Because he extended his contract for a full five years, reportedly with at least a $10m per year pay-packet, the 23-year-old admitted he asked Ferrari if he could receive a full racing version of his 2019 car. Leclerc said Ferrari has made “a big step” in 2021, but it will take another big one to close the gap to the front. Auto Motor und Sport claims Ferrari will keep developing the car only until June. “We still have to see what we keep in 2021 and what we discard for next year’s project,” said Leclerc.
