Oscar Piastri says he has ended his management relationship with Mark Webber, with both sides describing the split as mutual. Multiple outlets report that Webber and Ann Webber (and/or Ann Neal, as named in some coverage) are no longer managing the McLaren driver following a statement released in early week, shortly after the Brazilian Grand Prix.
Coverage largely focuses on what the change means for Piastri’s Formula 1 career, including why the timing may be unexpected. Several reports note that the news comes sooner than the end of the season, though outlets also suggest hints were present earlier. Yahoo Sports adds more historical framing about the Webber-Piastri partnership over time, while ABC, Sky News and F1 broadly summarise the termination details.
Other outlets, including The Independent, link the split to Piastri’s recent on-track performance, describing it as following a disappointing season. Across sources, the central agreement is that the management contract is ending and that Webber will no longer be involved, but they differ in the amount of context provided and in whether performance is emphasised alongside the announcement.
