Oscar Piastri and McLaren lengthen their relationship: it was just a few minutes ago that the Australian signed a multi-year contract and will wear Papaya orange for many more years. The news comes only a few days before the start of the season and the home race for Piastri, who will be more determined than ever during the Melbourne weekend in achieving a great result.
The words of Oscar Piastri
“It is a great feeling to know that I am part of McLaren's long-term vision. The team believed in me when we signed in 2022, and the journey we've been on over the past two seasons to help McLaren return to the top of the sport has been incredible. There are so many talented and special people working at MTC who have helped me become a Formula One race winner very early in my career. Therefore, I am very proud to continue representing this legendary team for many years to come. I am looking forward to fighting for the big prizes as a McLaren driver, and after last year's fantastic results, I am even more eager to stay at the forefront,” he concluded.
Zak Brown's words.
“It is great to confirm Oscar's extension with McLaren. Not only is he an incredibly talented driver, but his work ethic and cultural fit within the team made it obvious to extend his time in Papaya,” he said.
“We have the best driver lineup on the grid, and over the past two seasons we have seen how much of an asset Oscar is to the team, both on and off the track. He was absolutely instrumental in adding to our legacy with the 2024 constructors' championship last season, so we are all excited to see what we can do in the years to come as we continue to fight for world championships together,” he concluded.
Andrea Stella's words
“Further extending our partnership with Oscar is a symbol of our belief and trust in him as a driver, as well as a reflection of our shared ambition to continue together to fight for championships; it has been a pleasure to work with Oscar over the past two seasons and he has continued to demonstrate how impressive he is in terms of talent, determination and work ethic as a driver and his contribution to our team and culture as a person.”
“Together with Lando, we have what we need locked in for the long term to keep moving forward. I look forward to continuing to watch Oscar grow and develop as a driver and know that many successes await him.”
