NEw DELHI: Formula One champion McLaren has secured Oscar Piastri for the long-term after announcing on Wednesday a multi-year contract extension ahead of the 23-year-old driver’s home Australian Grand Prix.

The news followed similar extensions for chief executive Zak Brown, team principal Andrea Stella, Piastri’s teammate Lando Norris and senior staff.

Norris, overall runner-up last season to Red Bull’s four-time world champion Max Verstappen, signed his extension in January 2024.
