McLaren CEO Zak Brown is convinced that Oscar Piastri will eventually become a Formula 1 champion with McLaren, despite losing the title to Lando Norris in 2025.
Piastri had a strong season-long battle with Norris, leading the championship standings for 15 rounds and even holding a 34-point lead after his win at Zandvoort in August.
However, a series of mistakes and pace struggles towards the end of the season allowed Norris and Max Verstappen to overtake him in the standings.
Despite the setbacks, Brown is confident in Piastri’s abilities and believes he will one day win a World Championship with McLaren.
Meanwhile, Norris anticipates a role reversal with Piastri in the future, acknowledging the Australian’s potential to be a future F1 champion.
