Asked for his take on the rumours that Red Bull were hinting at a 'dream team' consisting of Max Verstappen and Charles Leclerc the current Ferrari driver has definitively quashed those rumours. He says he is happy at the Italian team and firmly believes in the adventure that is being pursued there.

"The rumours about my hypothetical discontent are all nonsense", Leclerc made clear to Italy 24 News. "I am calm at Maranello and there is a good synergy with Carlos Sainz. This allows us to work better and to concentrate as much as possible on a project in which I firmly believe."

Right track

Leclerc continued, seeing reason enough to stay in the improvements made at Ferrari: "“Lately we have managed to take the right path, managing to make a lot of progress compared to last season."

"I have extreme confidence in my team and I am currently happy with how things are developing. The goal we have set ourselves is to give our fans the same joy that the Italians felt after the victory at the European football championships", the Monegasque driver concludes.
