News - 2026-11-15 - By Jenny Marsh

Reported split with Mark Webber follows a difficult 2026 for Oscar Piastri, who sits seventh on 152 points after a bruising season.

Oscar Piastri and Mark Webber have reportedly ended their management agreement after the Brazilian Grand Prix. Autosport reported that the pair announced the change in a joint statement on the Monday after the race, and said Webber and Ann Neal had managed the McLaren driver since 2019.

The reported split comes during a difficult 2026 for Piastri, who is seventh in the drivers' championship on 152 points and has raced for McLaren since 2023. Formula1.com reported that Piastri described this season as tough and said he hoped the setbacks would help him become stronger.

Any wider impact on his career remains interpretation rather than confirmed fact. Autosport examined what the change could mean for Piastri's next steps, while Motorsport.com also carried outside commentary on the possible significance of the move, but no team change or new management structure was confirmed in the supplied reports.
