What Piastri and the Webbers announced
Oscar Piastri and the management team led by Mark and Ann Webber have mutually ended their agreement. Their joint announcement came on Monday, 9 November, after the São Paulo Grand Prix. Piastri thanked them for their support and guidance, while Mark Webber explained that their reduced trackside involvement this season made this an appropriate moment for a change.
From junior titles to nine Grand Prix wins
F1’s official profile records titles in Formula Renault, Formula 3 and Formula 2 before Piastri’s McLaren debut in 2023. He won in Hungary and Azerbaijan in 2024 and added seven victories in 2025. The 25-year-old Australian therefore has nine Grand Prix wins. The representation change comes after a rapid rise that established him as a leading figure on the grid.
The sporting context at Interlagos
McLaren’s report places Piastri sixth in Brazil after starting tenth. He highlighted his pace on soft tyres but still called for a quicker car that is easier to drive. His F1 profile, checked on 9 November, lists him seventh in the championship with 152 points.
What to watch next
APEX analysis: the central question is how the new representation will operate around the driver. Clear responsibilities and continuity in sporting preparation will provide more useful evidence than speculation about the reasons for the split. The statement announces a move to a new management structure.
