Oscar Piastri extends McLaren deal through 2026


 

McLaren has extended rookie Oscar Piastri’s contract through to the end of 2026.

The deal will keep Piastri and Lando Norris together as teammates for at least two more years, with the latter’s contract running until 2025.

Piastri has impressed in his first F1 season so far, scoring 42 points and finishing second in the sprint race at the Belgian Grand Prix.

The Australian, considered one of the brightest young talents in racing, joined McLaren after a lengthy legal battle between the British team and Alpine, who had initially had him to their driver academy.

Piastri won both the Formula 3 and Formula 2 championships before stepping up to F1.

His first McLaren deal was multi-year, believed to be until the end of 2024, and McLaren has ensured his long-term future will be with the team.
