Oscar Piastri ends management partnership with Mark Webber

Oscar Piastri has confirmed that former F1 driver Mark Webber is no longer managing him, ending a relationship that began in 2019 when Webber took on the role of manager and mentor for the Australian.

Webber said in a brief statement that the pair had agreed that now was an appropriate time to close the management agreement, given his reduced trackside involvement this season. Piastri thanked Webber and his wife Ann for their support, saying their guidance had been invaluable early in his F1 career. He has yet to say what form his management will take.

Piastri is currently second in the Drivers' Championship, 94 points behind teammate Lando Norris, having struggled this season relative to Norris. His McLaren contract runs to the end of the 2028 season.
