McLaren driver Oscar Piastri has confirmed he is no longer being represented by Mark Webber’s management team.

Webber, who won nine grands prix during his 12 seasons in Formula 1, has guided Piastri’s career since 2019. Piastri made his F1 debut with McLaren in 2023 and led much of last year’s championship before slipping to third place at the end of the season.

Piastri issued a statement saying he had split from the management team led by Webber and his partner Ann by mutual arrangement.

“I’d like to thank Mark and Ann for all their support and advice over the years,” said Piastri. “Their guidance has been invaluable, particularly in navigating the beginning of my F1 career. I wish them all the best going forward.”

Webber said he and Ann were “proud to have played a pivotal role in the formative years of Oscar’s career and to have placed him in F1 so that he could compete at the front so early on.

“Following our reduced trackside involvement this season, we have collectively agreed that now is an appropriate time to bring our management agreement to a close. This will allow Oscar to build on his achievements under a new management structure, and for us to embark on our new ventures. We wish Oscar all the very best for a long and successful career.”
