Get Kayo now.<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cFollowing our reduced trackside involvement this season, we have collectively agreed that now is an appropriate time to bring our management agreement to a close.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
Piastri thanked Mark and his wife Ann Neal for their guidance throughout the early stage of his career, starting back in 2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019d like to thank Mark and Ann for all their support and advice over the years,\u201d Piastri said.<\/p>\n
\u201cTheir guidance has been invaluable, particularly in navigating the beginning of my F1 career. I wish them all the best going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n

Webber took a step back from his on-track support role this season with former race engineer Pedro Matos taking up more of a trackside role. <\/p>\n
Piastri will take up a new management structure after parting ways with Webber\u2019s management agency.<\/p>\n
Webber helped Piastri start his F1 career at McLaren as a rookie after Alpine, prompting Piastri to famously shut down reports he was joining the French outfit. <\/p>\n
The former Red Bull race winner was a key figure by Piastri\u2019s side during his title push last year as tensions at McLaren ramped up in the battle with Lando Norris. <\/p>\n
Piastri finished sixth at Monday\u2019s Brazilian Grand Prix and can finish no place than seventh in the standings as a frustrating 2026 campaign comes to an end. <\/p>\n
He trails teammate Lando Norris by 94 points this year \u2014 the Brit claimed his third win of the season in Brazil. Piastri\u2019s two podiums came early in the season in Japan and Miami.<\/p>\n
There are three races left in the season in Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n
The 25-year-old Australian is contracted with McLaren until the end of the 2028 season. <\/p>\n
