Former Formula 1 driver-turned pundit Ralf Schumacher has suggested Aston Martin could be a future destination for Oscar Piastri, amid potential discontent at McLaren. The final quarter of this year’s championship has seen Piastri’s fortune turn from a bed of roses to a wilting greenhouse, with a steady points lead turning into a one-digit deficit in favor of team-mate Lando Norris. McLaren has been insistent on treating both Norris and Piastri equally, but after the Singapore Grand Prix incident, there are doubts about Piastri’s trust in the team’s fairness. Schumacher believes Piastri may be keeping an eye on the market, with Aston Martin potentially seeking a lineup change for 2026. Piastri’s future could be in question, with talks allegedly happening about a possible move to Aston Martin along with Charles Leclerc as an option. The turbulent season has fueled speculations on Piastri’s potential exit from McLaren and a new chapter at Aston Martin.
