Oscar Piastri ends seven-year management partnership with Mark Webber

Oscar Piastri has ended his seven-year management partnership with former Formula 1 driver Mark Webber and his wife Ann, with both sides confirming their separation following the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.

The McLaren driver and the Webbers have mutually agreed to terminate their management agreement, bringing an end to a relationship that began in 2019, before Piastri's rise through the junior categories.

Piastri thanked the couple for their support and guidance, particularly during the early stages of his Formula 1 career. Webber, meanwhile, said they were proud to have played an important role in the Australian's development and helped him reach the sport's highest level.

Webber was instrumental in securing Piastri's move from Alpine to McLaren ahead of the 2023 season. The Australian had won consecutive Formula 3 and Formula 2 titles before becoming involved in a contract dispute with Alpine, which ultimately allowed him to join the Woking-based team.

The announcement comes after a difficult weekend for Piastri in Brazil, where he finished sixth, 56 seconds behind team-mate and race winner Lando Norris. He currently sits seventh in the Drivers' Championship.

Webber had already reduced his presence at race weekends during the 2026 season, with other members of Piastri's team taking on greater responsibilities. The former Red Bull driver said the change in their trackside involvement made this an appropriate moment to bring the partnership to an end.

Piastri will now continue his career under a new management structure. His contract with McLaren runs until the end of 2028.
