Charles Leclerc's Ferrari contract is "the anointing of their chosen son"

Liberty Media presenter Will Buxton believes that Ferrari have committed to their future. Ferrari signed a contract extension with Charles Leclerc lasting until the end of 2024. "While some may choose to argue that Leclerc’s long-term signing by Ferrari is a means to calm the hungry youngster in the knowledge his time will eventually come, what cannot be overlooked is that not even the mighty Michael Schumacher was afforded a five-year deal at Maranello," Buxton wrote in his Formula1.com article. "Of course times have changed at the Scuderia and it would be remiss if we did not mention that Fernando Alonso was granted a five-year extension (even if he didn’t see it out) in 2011. But to see Leclerc’s deal as any less than the anointing of their chosen son and the driver around whom the team will build its future is, now, difficult." Source- GP Blog
