Helmut Marko suggested to F1-Insider that Mark Webber was actively seeking discussions. When Piastri arrived in Mexico City, he denied these claims. Later, Marko mentioned his words were misconstrued.
After the first practice session, where IndyCar driver Pato O’Ward took Lando Norris‘ place, Zak Brown confidently stated that both McLaren drivers are sticking around. “We’re thrilled with our two drivers and have them under contract for a good while. Contrary to what some other team boss might think, they’re not leaving,” said Brown.
