McLaren Extends Oscar Piastri's Contract to 2027

McLaren has secured Oscar Piastri with a multi-year contract extension, solidifying his position with the team until at least 2028. After a remarkable debut season in 2023, where he achieved multiple podiums and secured his first Grand Prix victories in Hungary and Azerbaijan, Piastri's performance has made him a cornerstone of McLaren's championship aspirations. The extension comes as part of a broader strategy to maintain a competitive edge, with key leadership and teammate Lando Norris also committed long-term. Despite some concerns about team dynamics with two top drivers, McLaren’s management is confident that Piastri and Norris can work together effectively. Piastri expressed pride in representing McLaren and excitement for their future challenges. The announcement coincides with the lead-up to the Australian Grand Prix, where Piastri will race at home for the first time since his extended contract.
