  "account": "McLaren F1 driver Oscar Piastri has parted ways with his manager, former Formula 1 driver Mark Webber. The Australian duo ended their management agreement, with three rounds remaining in the 2026 F1 season. Webber, a nine-time Grand Prix winner, had been supporting Piastri since 2019 and played a crucial role in his move to McLaren in 2023, replacing compatriot Daniel Ricciardo. Webber expressed pride in his role in Piastri's early career and acknowledged the end of their management agreement was the right decision. Piastri, a three-time Formula 3 and Formula 2 champion, thanked Webber for their support but recognized their guidance had been invaluable. Despite not winning a race this season, Piastri has shown promise, finishing sixth in Brazil. Currently, he stands seventh in the 2026 F1 standings.",
