McLaren’s Oscar Piastri has denied a claim that his manager wants to have conversations with Red Bull over a potential move to the team in F1.
Before this weekend’s Mexico City Grand Prix, Marko made a surprising claim that Mark Webber, Piastri’s manager, was pushing for discussions regarding his client. Piastri has been instrumental in helping McLaren overtake Red Bull in the Constructors’ Championship while Sergio Perez struggles to support his team-mate, Max Verstappen. Marko has hinted that Perez’s position will be reviewed at the end of the season due to his significant points gap behind Verstappen. Despite the Red Bull drivers vying for promotion, Christian Horner has mentioned considering external options. Piastri, contracted to McLaren until 2026, has denied seeking an early release and expressed contentment with his current team, despite the interest from Red Bull. He appreciates Red Bull’s consideration but emphasized his commitment to McLaren. Piastri also mentioned that while a revised front wing might not be available for his car in Mexico, it would not heavily impact his performance for the weekend.
