Oscar Piastri ends management partnership with Mark Webber and Ann Neal

Oscar Piastri has mutually agreed to end his management partnership with Mark Webber and Ann Neal. The McLaren driver will move to a new management structure.

Piastri and Webber announced the decision in a joint statement on the Monday after the Brazilian Grand Prix. PlanetF1 reports that Piastri has yet to confirm his future management arrangements.

“Following our reduced trackside involvement this season, we have collectively agreed that now is an appropriate time to bring our management agreement to a close,” said Webber, Piastri's former manager.

“We are proud to have played a pivotal role in the formative years of Oscar’s career and to have placed him in F1 so that he could compete at the front so early on,” Webber said.

“I'd like to thank Mark and Ann for all their support and advice over the years. Their guidance has been invaluable, particularly in navigating the beginning of my F1 career. I wish them all the best going forward,” Piastri said.

Motorsport.com reports that Pedro Matos, Piastri's former Formula 2 race engineer at Prema, and mental coach Emma Murray have been assisting him.

Motorsport.com also reports that McLaren has never formally asked Piastri to change his management, and that he formed his own view of his future needs with input from people around him.

Webber and Ann became Piastri's managers in 2019. Ann had previously managed Webber's career.

While managed by Webber, Piastri left Alpine and signed a McLaren Formula 1 race deal for 2023. His current McLaren contract runs until the end of 2028.
