Oscar Piastri Splits with Manager Mark Webber in Shock Announcement
The Australian driver said the split was mutual after Webber had guided his career since 2019 and helped him reach Formula 1.
- On Monday, Formula 1 driver Oscar Piastri and his manager, former driver Mark Webber, mutually agreed to terminate their long-term management relationship. The pair confirmed the decision in a brief joint statement.
- Since 2019, Webber and his wife Ann Webber, manager, have guided the Australian through Formula Renault Eurocup, Formula 3, and Formula 2. They were instrumental in placing him in Formula 1 for the 2023 season.
- Poor luck and reduced pace marred the 2026 season, leaving Piastri unable to contend for the championship. Across 88 career starts, the Australian has secured six pole positions and nine victories.
- Webber reduced his trackside involvement earlier this season, with race engineer Pedro Matos and mental coach Emma Murray assisting Piastri. Webber stated, "now is an appropriate time to bring our management agreement to a close."
- Piastri has yet to confirm his future management structure following the split. He thanked the Webbers for their "invaluable" guidance, wishing them success as they embark on new ventures away from his racing career.
