An Italian F1 journalist recently said it was an “open secret” that Charles Leclerc is talking to Mercedes. Charles Leclerc gives his response.
Earlier this week, a well-known Italian F1 journalist Leo Turrini claimed that Charles Leclerc is talking to Mercedes about a potential seat.
Ahead of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Leclerc was asked if he was truly talking to the German team.
“No, not yet,” Leclerc said.
“Not for the moment. For now, I am fully focused on the project I am in today, which is Ferrari and I fully trust and am confident for the future.

“Then we will see, but I am fully confident for the project of Ferrari. I’m fully committed to Ferrari and I love Ferrari.
“It has always been a dream for me to be in this team and my main priority is to win a world championship with this team. So it’s not something in my mind.”
When asked directly if he had any contact from Mercedes team boss Toto Wolff, Leclerc said:
“No. Zero. Zero. Really zero. You all smile because you don’t believe me, but I promise,” he concluded.
