Piastri signs ‘multi-year’ extension at McLaren ahead of new Formula 1 season

Associated Press  

WOKING, England — Oscar Piastri has signed a “multi-year” contract extension with McLaren, the F1 team said Tuesday. The team didn’t give details of the extension but said it meant the 23-year-old Piastri would be staying “for the long term.” “It’s a great feeling knowing that I’m part of McLaren’s long-term vision,” Piastri said in a statement. “The team had the belief in me when we signed in 2022, and the journey we’ve gone on over the past two seasons to help return McLaren to the very top of the sport has been incredible.” Piastri made his F1 debut with McLaren in 2023 after a contract dispute with Alpine. McLaren chief executive Zak Brown said it was a “no-brainer” to extend Piastri’s contract.
