Ralf Schumacher is waiting for Piastri and Leclerc at Aston Martin.

      Former Formula 1 driver Ralf Schumacher believes that Oscar Piastri is seriously considering the option of an early departure from McLaren. In Ralf’s view, the Australian driver could move to Aston Martin in the foreseeable future.

      Ralf Schumacher: "I believe that if a driver has lost confidence in the team, or vice versa, which also happens, there will be clear consequences, and the driver may even leave.

      Unmistakable rumors are circulating in the paddock: Aston Martin is urgently looking for options to replace its lineup as early as 2026, but certainly no later than 2027. I have the impression that Oscar has grown tired of putting up with everything that is happening to him in the team.

      Aston Martin are looking for two strong drivers. The first candidate we've already talked about is Oscar Piastri. And the second is Charles Leclerc. If he wants, there will be a seat for him. Who knows, perhaps his managers are already looking for a way to terminate his contract early, if there is an opportunity to assemble a different lineup next year."
