Juan Pablo Montoya recently “guaranteed” that Mark Webber is “talking to another F1 team” for Oscar Piastri, but should the Australian leave McLaren?
Despite leading the standings for much of the season, Oscar Piastri narrowly missed out on securing his first Formula 1 drivers’ championship in 2025.
A late shift in momentum saw his teammate Lando Norris overturning the 34-point deficit to claim the title, pushing Piastri to third place behind Max Verstappen.
Controversy arose over whether McLaren’s strategic decisions favored Norris at crucial times, with some attributing Piastri’s drop in form as a key factor shaping the outcome.
Speculation about Piastri’s future at McLaren has emerged, but he remains under contract until 2028.
A RacingNews365 poll showed divided opinions on whether Piastri should stay at McLaren or consider other options as the sport enters a new regulatory cycle.
