Piastri and Webber End Seven-Year Management Partnership

The joint decision lets Piastri pursue a new management setup while Webber steps away to focus on other projects.

Overview

  • A joint press release on Monday said Oscar Piastri and manager Mark Webber have mutually agreed to end their management agreement after seven years.
  • Webber said the split was deliberate and intended to allow Piastri to build a new management structure while Webber and his wife Ann pursue other projects.
  • Piastri thanked Mark and Ann Webber for their support and did not name a replacement manager in the statement.
  • Webber had already reduced his on-track presence at the start of the 2026 season, with Pedro Matos and mental coach Emma Murray becoming visible members of Piastri’s support team.
  • The change comes as Piastri has struggled with the 2026 car generation and sits well behind team-mate Lando Norris, and follows Webber’s role in guiding Piastri from junior formulas to a McLaren seat since 2019.
