Oscar Piastri Ditches Mark Webber's Management

Oscar Piastri has split from Mark Webber's management team after 7 years, with the decision coming as a mutual agreement between the two parties. Piastri, who is currently seventh in the F1 Drivers' Championship, will now work with a new management team.

Piastri joined Webber’s JAM Sports Management in 2019 when he was racing in the Formula Renault Eurocup championship. He went on to win the championship that year, followed by championships in Formula 3 in 2020 and Formula 2 in 2021.

The Australian made his F1 debut in 2023 for McLaren, after a highly publicized dispute with Alpine. Piastri had initially been announced as an Alpine driver, but he rejected the move, leading to a hearing at the FIA Contract Recognition Board. The board ultimately ruled in Piastri's favor, allowing him to join McLaren.

Piastri has scored nine wins in his F1 career and was involved in the 2025 F1 title fight, losing to McLaren teammate Lando Norris. However, his 2026 season has been less successful, with the driver currently sitting seventh in the drivers' standings.

The decision to split with Webber's management was a mutual agreement between Piastri and Webber. Webber had already taken a step back in his management of Piastri ahead of the 2026 season, attending fewer races. Piastri has expressed his gratitude to Webber and his partner Ann for their support and guidance throughout his career.

## Why it matters The split between Piastri and Webber's management team may have significant implications for the driver's future career. With a new management team in place, Piastri may be looking to re-evaluate his goals and strategy for the remainder of the 2026 season and beyond. As one of the top drivers in the F1 championship, Piastri's decisions will be closely watched by fans and teams alike.
