We wish Oscar all the very best for a long and successful career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Piastri also acknowledged the contribution of Mark and Ann Webber.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d like to thank Mark and Ann for all their support and advice over the years,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\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<p>The deal that changed Piastri\u2019s career<\/p>\n<p>Webber began managing Piastri in 2019, overseeing his progression through Formula Renault Eurocup, Formula 3 and Formula 2, with the Australian winning all three championships in consecutive seasons.<\/p>\n<p>His most significant contribution came in 2022, when Alpine attempted to announce Piastri as its replacement for Fernando Alonso.<\/p>\n<p>Webber had already negotiated a deal with McLaren, triggering a contract dispute that ultimately went before Formula 1\u2019s Contract Recognition Board.<\/p>\n<p>The board ruled in McLaren\u2019s favour, clearing Piastri to replace Daniel Ricciardo for 2023.<\/p>\n<p>The decision proved pivotal.<\/p>\n<p>Piastri went on to claim his maiden Grand Prix victory in Hungary in 2024 before becoming a World Championship contender in 2025.<\/p>\n<p>He has since established himself as one of Formula 1\u2019s leading drivers, although his 2026 campaign has failed to match those expectations.<\/p>\n<p>What happens next for Piastri?<\/p>\n<p>The management split does not affect Piastri\u2019s existing McLaren contract, which runs through 2028.<\/p>\n<p>However, it leaves the 25-year-old preparing for the next phase of his Formula 1 career without the management team responsible for establishing him in the championship.<\/p>\n<p>Neither party has suggested that Piastri\u2019s recent results contributed to the separation, and his future management structure has not been announced.<\/p>\n<p>What remains unexplained is why both parties decided to end a partnership that had delivered nine Grand Prix victories and a World Championship challenge.<\/p>\n<p>For Piastri, the immediate task is rediscovering his winning form.<\/p>\n<p>He will now do so without Webber in his corner.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/autoaction.com.au\/digital\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"square\" onclick=\"if (!window.__cfRLUnblockHandlers) return false; window.dataLayer.push({&quot;event&quot;:&quot;aa_click&quot;,&quot;ad&quot;:&quot;Podcast ads \u2013 D&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;square&quot;});\" data-cf-modified-28c97dbc13278489ea8153da-=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><a href=\"https:\/\/autoactionmagazine.myshopify.com\/products\/auto-action-premium-magazine-november-2026\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"square\" onclick=\"if (!window.__cfRLUnblockHandlers) return false; window.dataLayer.push({&quot;event&quot;:&quot;aa_click&quot;,&quot;ad&quot;:&quot;AAP1924-D&quot;,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;square&quot;});\" data-cf-modified-28c97dbc13278489ea8153da-=\"\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/1794268212_567_AA-MREC_300x250.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Recent Storiesarray (<br \/>\n  0 =&gt;<br \/>\n  WP_Term::__set_state(array(<br \/>\n     &#8216;term_id&#8217; =&gt; 37,<br \/>\n     &#8216;name&#8217; =&gt; &#8216;F1&#8217;,<br \/>\n     &#8216;slug&#8217; =&gt; &#8216;f1&#8217;,<br \/>\n     &#8216;term_group&#8217; =&gt; 0,<br \/>\n     &#8216;term_taxonomy_id&#8217; =&gt; 37,<br \/>\n     &#8216;taxonomy&#8217; =&gt; &#8216;category&#8217;,<br \/>\n     &#8216;description&#8217; =&gt; &#8216;An Introduction to Formula One (F1)&#13;<br \/>\nFormula One, or F1, is the highest class of single-seater auto racing, governed by the F\u00e9d\u00e9ration Internationale de l\\&#8217;Automobile (FIA) and is owned by Liberty Media.
