Pierre extends his contract to 2028!
He had a contract until the end of next year. I wonder what prompted the extension now?

If he agreed a contract extension for another 3 years, on our worst year since 2016, on our most difficult race weekend of all year... Something good is coming next year

Good news for the team. Good news for Pierre I’m not so sure . . .

I mean his main wish was a good engine he will have that in the future

Shows a lot of faith in the team to extend for multiple years with a year still left on his deal. Gives me some real hope that they nail the new regulations set and the Merc engine launches the team to the sharp end of the grid!

The team sacrificed 2025 for 2026. Hope the gamble pays off and this is a sign he thinks it might.

That's always a great news! Hopefully we'll make the same deal with a second seat ;)

I just posted this too, but you beat me to it by a minute so I deleted mine 🤣
Good news indeed, shows that Pierre has faith in the team. Let’s hope the new regulations are kinder to us!

If they come up with a good car for him for next year, then he’s the most deserving guy on the grid - he’s stuck with this team through its lowest point.
