Oscar Piastri signs new F1 contract with McLaren
Al JazeeraThe Australian driver commits his long-term future to McLaren after signing a multiyear contract extension beyond 2026. Formula One champions McLaren have secured Oscar Piastri for the long term after announcing a multiyear contract extension ahead of the 23-year-old driver’s home Australian Grand Prix. The news, released on Wednesday, followed similar extensions for chief executive Zak Brown, team principal Andrea Stella, Piastri’s teammate Lando Norris and senior staff. A race winner in Hungary and Azerbaijan last season as McLaren took their first constructors’ title since 1998, Piastri made his F1 debut with the British-based team in 2023 and already had a contract that ran until the end of 2026. “He was absolutely fundamental in adding to our legacy with the 2024 Constructors’ Championship last season, so we’re all excited to see what we can do in the years to come as we continue to fight for World Championships together.” First practice for Sunday’s season opener at Albert Park is on Friday.
