Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Piastri Secures Long-Term Future with McLaren
Caption: Piastri Secures Long-Term Future with McLaren. Oscar Piastri has signed a new long-term contract with McLaren, extending his stay beyond his existing deal, which ran until 2026. The 23-year-old Australian, who won two grands prix last season and finished fourth in the world championship, has cemented his place at the team. Piastri’s performances, alongside teammate Lando Norris, helped McLaren secure their first constructors’ title since 1998. McLaren Racing CEO Zak Brown praised Piastri’s talent, work ethic, and role in the team’s recent success, calling his contract renewal a “no-brainer.” Piastri expressed gratitude for the team’s belief in him since 2022, calling McLaren’s rise back to the top of Formula 1 an “incredible journey.” While McLaren didn’t specify the duration, reports suggest Piastri is committed to the team until at least the end of 2028. Teammate Lando Norris signed a long-term contract last year, securing McLaren’s highly rated driver pairing for the foreseeable future. Alongside Piastri’s extension, key figures like team principal Andrea Stella and technical director Peter Prodromou have also renewed their contracts. Stella hailed Piastri’s determination and talent, emphasizing that, alongside Norris, the team is set up for continued championship contention. With both drivers and leadership committed for years to come, McLaren is focused on sustaining its resurgence and fighting for future world titles.
