McLaren announces: Piastri extends contract at McLaren

Piastri will thus be rewarded for his tremendous development this season. After having to sit on the sidelines for a year as Formula 2 champion last year, he traded the Alpine junior programme for an adventure at McLaren. Alongside teammate Lando Norris, Piastri is making a big impression.

His best result in a Grand Prix is a fourth place at the British Grand Prix. However, he did stand on the podium once during the sprint race at Spa-Francorchamps thanks to a second place behind Max Verstappen.

Lando Norris extended his contract until 2025 in February 2022, so McLaren's driver duo will remain intact at least until the end of 2025.
