Oscar Piastri Poses Max Verstappen Theory Behind McLaren Talks
Piastri said McLaren has been reassuring and that he is contracted and focused on the team despite fresh Verstappen speculation.
- On Thursday, Oscar Piastri dismissed speculation that Max Verstappen might join McLaren, confirming his own future with the team by stating, "Yes... I didn't realise it was a point of contention, but yes."
- Reports in recent weeks suggested Verstappen might exit Red Bull for McLaren by 2027, fueled by a secret meeting between the four-time champion and McLaren CEO Zak Brown in Austria.
- Piastri insisted he remains in a "very comfortable" position after receiving reassurances from Brown and team principal Andrea Stella, noting, "It was the same thing last year with him and Mercedes, so it's nothing new."
- Manager Mark Webber rejected the rumours, asserting that Piastri remains contracted to the Woking-based team and dismissing talk of his client agitating to leave as "nonsense."
- While Verstappen refused to comment on his future on Thursday, he holds an exit clause from Red Bull that could trigger if he remains below second place in the championship.
