RacingNews365 Fri 21 Aug · 15:20 UTC via f1oversteer.com McLaren wanted to put Mark Webber ‘back in his box’ by speaking to Max Verstappen McLaren's interest in Max Verstappen has been highlighted following his new contract with Red Bull, which confirms Oscar Piastri's continued presence at the team for at least another year. McLaren's management, including Zak Brown, acknowledged their interest in Verstappen, suggesting they would have pursued him if they had the capacity for a third car. This situation has created tension with Mark Webber, Piastri's manager, particularly after Piastri's championship loss to Lando Norris, leading to speculation about Webber's diminishing influence in Piastri's career decisions.
The dynamics between McLaren and Webber have reportedly soured, with claims that he has been sidelined in favor of a more commercial focus and that he may not even have access to McLaren's hospitality. Despite these tensions, Webber has consistently denied that Piastri is exploring options to leave the team, indicating that he remains committed to McLaren despite the ongoing speculation and internal changes. f1oversteer.com Thu 20 Aug · 20:00 UTC 556
