Ferrari Heavily Backing Leclerc

This undoubtedly reflects the level of the trust Ferrari is putting in the young racer, and why not, Leclerc is currently rocking the seasons.

The new 2021 F1 regulations will always play a crucial role. The change in the car designs is expected to be a leading contributing factor which will affect the grouping for the upcoming seasons.
