Given how far back this team is from being a contender, I would think Leclerc would probably not be interested in spending some of his best years with them trying to rebuild unless he has confidence in some of the engineers joining the Scuderia from other teams.
It's a bad situation all around unfortunately.
The thing is, where does he go? The only contender right now is RB... and he'd go there to be a #2, battling Verstappen. I think thats a higher risk than staying here. Mercedes has been the last year and a half and are no closer to #1 than Ferrari. Aston is dropping off a bit lately, McLaren looks promising, but it's only one race. And again, I cant see them pushing Lando to be a #2, And Piastri is not doing too bad.
There's really no sure thing at the moment, I think Ferrari is his best spot right now. The fans love him, Ferrari love him, and they have more money than any other team. Where could he go?
