Oscar Piastri's rise into Formula 1 and, last year, even into a title contender was closely linked to Mark Webber.

The former Red Bull driver had managed his fellow Australian alongside his wife Ann Webber since 2019, standing by the youngster's side when he made the bold move away from the Renault Academy to join McLaren.
