Oscar Piastri addresses Max Verstappen rumors at McLaren
Formula 1 driver Oscar Piastri has addressed previous speculation regarding Max Verstappen potentially joining McLaren. Piastri stated he was “never really worried” about the possibility, noting that the rumors did not directly involve him.
The speculation has concluded following Max Verstappen's contract renewal with Red Bull Racing through the end of 2030. This long-term commitment ends discussions that had previously linked the four-time champion to teams like Mercedes and McLaren.
Piastri expressed satisfaction with his tenure at McLaren, highlighting his achievements including winning Grand Prix and Sprint races, as well as contributing to two constructors' championships in 2024 and 2025. While he declined to commit to a specific long-term timeline like Verstappen's, he emphasized his positive relationship with the Woking-based team.
