The Monegasque - a member of Ferrari's junior program - has reportedly agreed a €5million two-year deal to replace Kimi Raikkonen at the Scuderia next season. Formula 2 champion Leclerc has made a fine start to life in F1, scoring points in five of the last six races after a ninth-place finish at the Austrian Grand Prix.
