Summary
- Piastri seeking advice from former F1 driver Mark Webber on 2025 title battle

As the 2025 Formula 1 season reaches its climactic final stretch, Oscar Piastri has revealed the valuable advice he is receiving from his manager, former F1 driver Mark Webber. Piastri, who currently leads the drivers' championship with 284 points, is engaged in a fierce battle with his McLaren teammate Lando Norris, who sits just 9 points behind.
Webber's own experience of fighting for the title against his Red Bull teammate Sebastian Vettel between 2010 and 2013 has provided Piastri with unique insights. During that period, Vettel emerged victorious on three occasions, while Webber finished third in the standings. Piastri acknowledges that Webber's "emotions" from those intense battles are resurfacing as the young Australian navigates his own title fight.
Despite the high stakes, Piastri and Norris have maintained a friendly rivalry, with the duo engaging in "silly stuff" off the track. However, once they hit the circuit, their determination to win is unwavering. With 10 Grand Prix events remaining, the intensity of the championship battle is only set to increase, and Piastri is grateful for Webber's guidance in helping him stay focused and composed.
