Piastri Ends Seven-Year Management Partnership With Mark and Ann Webber

Webber's reduced trackside role this season prompted the mutual decision, opening the door for Piastri to adopt a new management structure.

Overview

  • A joint statement on Monday confirmed Oscar Piastri and Mark and Ann Webber have mutually terminated their management agreement after working together since 2019.
  • Mark Webber guided Piastri from junior categories into Formula 1 and was instrumental in securing his move to McLaren for the 2023 season.
  • Webber stepped back from regular trackside duties this year, and Piastri has been supported at races by former Prema race engineer Pedro Matos and performance coach Emma Murray.
  • Piastri has gone winless in 2026, recently finishing sixth in São Paulo and sitting seventh in the drivers' standings, a performance context that frames the timing of the split.
  • Both sides thanked one another and said the split is amicable, with Piastri set to move to a new management structure while the Webbers pursue other ventures and no new manager has been announced.
