"I wanted to get a stronger engine, a reliable engine, and a fast car and they [Ferrari] have managed just that," Leclerc said after winning the Australian Grand Prix.
"I am incredibly happy and proud to be driving a Ferrari and it shows how great they are because after the last two years it wasn't a given we would be back at this level but here we are.
"Now we need to keep pushing, the season is long but it is an extremely good start."
Ferrari are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they are followed by Mercedes and Red Bull Racing-RBPT respectively.
