Oscar Piastri drops F1 future revelation LIVE on stage
Oscar Piastri expressed his commitment to McLaren at the FIA prize giving gala, witnessing his F1 teammate Lando Norris receive the drivers’ championship trophy.
Piastri, who led the 2025 championship for a while, ultimately finished third, 13 points behind Norris due to poor qualifying and point-less finishes in the latter races.
At 24, Piastri gained valuable experience battling talents like Norris and Verstappen, though finishing behind the latter raised speculation about his future.
Contracted with McLaren until 2028, Piastri emphasized his dedication on stage, looking forward to racing Norris for many more years.
The 2026 championship remains uncertain, with Piastri, Norris, Verstappen, Mercedes’ George Russell, and others expected to compete fiercely under the new regulations, promising an exciting season ahead.
