Overview
- Piastri and Mark and Ann Webber announced on Monday that they have mutually terminated their management agreement, with the statement issued after the Sao Paulo Grand Prix.
- The Webbers began managing Piastri in 2019 and played a decisive role in his pathway to Formula 1, including negotiating his move to McLaren for 2023 during the Alpine contract dispute.
- Mark Webber reduced his trackside presence ahead of the 2026 season and this year Piastri has been supported at races by former Prema race engineer Pedro Matos and mental coach Emma Murray.
- The split comes after a difficult 2026 campaign for Piastri in which he has gone winless, was outscored by team‑mate Lando Norris and sits well down the championship order.
- No replacement manager has been named and the change could affect Piastri’s commercial deals, contract negotiations and PR plans as he prepares for the 2027 season.
