Oscar Piastri: I will race for McLaren in 2027.
On Thursday in Spa, Oscar Piastri put an end to rumors about his possible departure from McLaren at the end of the season. The Australian driver assured that he will continue to race for the Woking team.
In response to a direct question about whether we will see him behind the wheel of a McLaren in 2027, Oscar said: "Yes. I didn't even know that this topic was being discussed at all.
Of course, I have seen and heard some rumors, but I am quite satisfied with my position and the situation I am in. Zak Brown and Andrea Stella have supported me well in this situation and assured me that everything is fine.
It is obvious that Max Verstappen is not very happy with his position right now and is considering various options. Last year, there was a similar story with him and Mercedes, so there is nothing new here. I am very happy with my position and how my career is developing.
The rumors don't particularly bother me. It is important to understand how things are and what is happening in the driver market, and any available information is useful.
I trust the team – what they tell me and that they believe in me. Ultimately, that is all that matters to me."
