Monegasque driver Charles Leclerc has extended his contract with Ferrari by two years until 2024, the Italian team and driver announced on Monday.
"Extremely happy to announce that I will be staying with Scuderia Ferrari for five more years," the 22-year-old said on Twitter.
Leclerc impressed in his first season alongside four-time world champion Sebastian Vettel, finishing fourth in the 2019 world championship.
He had seven pole positions, nine podium finishes, with wins at Spa-Francorchamps in Belgium and the Italian Grand Prix in Monza.
Leclerc's original contract with the Italian stable was until 2022. German Vettel's contract at Ferrari ends after the 2020 season.
"This past season, driving for the most illustrious team in Formula 1 has been a dream year for me," said Leclerc.
"I cannot wait to enjoy an even deeper relationship with the team after what has been an intense and exciting 2019.
"I'm keen to see what the future holds and I can't wait to get going again next season."
