Follow usOscar Piastri has secured his long-term future with McLaren, signing a new “multi-year” contract that extends his stay with the team beyond 2026. While McLaren has not disclosed the exact length of the deal, it is expected to keep the Australian at the team until at least 2028.
The contract extension comes just days before the 2025 Formula 1 season kicks off in Melbourne, reinforcing McLaren’s commitment to Piastri as a key part of its future.
“It’s a great feeling knowing that I’m part of McLaren’s long-term vision,” said the 23-year-old. “The team had the belief in me when we signed in 2022, and the journey we’ve gone on over the past two seasons to help return McLaren to the very top of the sport has been incredible.”
Piastri, a former F2 and F3 champion, impressed immediately after making his F1 debut in 2023. Last season, he claimed his first two grand prix victories and finished fourth in the drivers’ championship, playing a crucial role in McLaren’s constructors’ title-winning campaign.
