Summary
- McLaren team photo excluded 2025 World Champion contender Oscar Piastri.
- Fans questioned the omission of Piastri from the team's final picture.

Following their successful 2025 Formula One World Championship season, McLaren has ignited fan debate with a recent team photograph. The image, taken at their Woking headquarters, prominently features new World Champion Lando Norris surrounded by staff, but notably omits fellow contender Oscar Piastri.
The absence of Piastri, a key figure in McLaren's championship battles, did not go unnoticed by fans. Social media quickly filled with comments questioning the exclusion and the team's perceived favouritism, with some jokingly suggesting Piastri was the one taking the photo.
With Piastri's contract extending to 2028, the upcoming seasons promise further scrutiny. The 2026 Formula One season is set to commence with the Australian Grand Prix on March 8 in Melbourne.
