Charles Leclerc has attracted the attention of two Formula 1 teams amid reports he is 'growing tired' at Ferrari.

Leclerc, 28, signed for Ferrari back in 2019, hoping to win the world title with the Scuderia.

However, the Monegasque has so far been left disappointed as Ferrari are yet to deliver a car capable of mounting a title charge.

To date, Leclerc has only managed eight wins, with his first victory coming at the 2019 Belgian Grand Prix; his latest triumph was the 2024 United States Grand Prix.

In 2025, Leclerc finished fifth, scoring seven podiums despite having to deal with the problematic SF-25.

As a result of Ferrari's disappointing season, Leclerc has been linked with a move away.

According to Grada3, via F1 Oversteer, Leclerc is said to be 'growing tired' of Ferrari's failure to deliver a title-winning car.

It has been stated that the 28-year-old is willing to give the Scuderia 'one more chance' to prove to him that his dream of winning the world championship could be achieved with the team.

The report also mentioned that Leclerc has been 'strongly' linked with both Mercedes and Aston Martin.

Leclerc has long been 'valued' at Mercedes while Aston Martin are looking for a 'future leader' who could take over from Fernando Alonso.

What has Charles Leclerc said about Ferrari's chances in 2026?

Speaking after last month's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, Leclerc was asked whether he believes Ferrari could deliver a good car for the new campaign.

He said: "I do, and next year will be a crucial year.

"The whole team is hugely motivated for next year, because it’s such a big change, a huge opportunity to show what Ferrari is capable of. It’s now or never, so I really hope that we will start this new era on the right foot, because it’s important for the four years after."

Leclerc added: "By race six or seven, I think we’ll have a good idea of who are the teams that will be dominating for the four years after."
