Multiple Esports champion Brendon Leigh has announced he is parting ways with Ferrari Esports. But his future is secured elsewhere.

Two-time F1 Esports champion Brendon Leigh announced via social media on Tuesday that he will not compete with Ferrari Esports in 2023.

“I’ve taken the decision to leave Ferrari” he announced via Twitter.
“I’m grateful for the time, experienced and laps shared together in Maranello. Representing Ferrari has been a honour! Grazie a tutti”
However, he left plenty of room for intrigue and excitement, teasing that [his] “next chapter is starting imminently”.
