Does anyone really see this as surprising?

I’m surprised it’s 2 years not just a single year. I thought he might stop seen as merc aren’t challenging for the title

Same. I expected him to sign for one more season, not for 2025 as well.

Giving his options, no.

But then I doubt he'll gain much from sticking it out another two years. He might win a race or two, but nothings beating that Redbull to the championship anytime soon.

I don't. Obviously, though, I can't speak for anyone else.

So is this end of 2024 season (Leclerc's Ferrari deal) or one season longer?

SatouKazuma@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y

2024 and 2025, from what I can read. The Formula 1 Android app was saying it's a two-year deal, so my understanding would assume it means next year and the season after that.
