The fire around the recent Oscar Piastri to Red Bull rumors has been brutally put out by the Australian driver. During the ongoing 2024 Mexican GP weekend in Mexico City, Red Bull’s Helmut Marko insisted that Piastri’s manager Mark Webber has been seeking talks with the Austrian team regarding a potential move.

Since Helmut Marko‘s reveal the news spread like wildfire within the paddock as everyone started talking about it and coming up with fascinating scenarios. However, all the hype has been put to bed by the young Oscar Piastri.

Definitely not. I’m very happy where I am. I am under contract for the next two years after this, and I’m certainly not looking to go elsewhere. It wouldn’t be a week in F1 without some comments from Helmut.

Looking at the reaction of the Aussie, it is quite clear that he is happy with his current team. McLaren is leading the constructors championship and is also in with a shot at the driver’s title with Lando Norris. Piastri amassed his maiden win in the sport at this year’s Hungarian GP.

Oscar Piastri has been one of the brightest shining lights on the 2024 F1 grid. He has proved sensational behind the wheel of the MCL38 and has often, been able to take the fight to his senior and much more experienced teammate Lando Norris.

With only five races remaining, Piastri is hell-bent on putting up a mighty show.

I can’t wait to go racing in Mexico. We’ve got five races left this season and I am determined to finish the season strongly and round off the year with more success.

Piastri is currently in fourth position in the 2024 driver’s world championship. With 247 points to his name, he is also not that far away from Ferrari’s Charles Leclerc who is in third place with 275.

The 23-year-old has agreed to help Norris as much as possible in his tussle against Max Verstappen. However, he has asserted that he will help his teammate only if it will make sense to him during the ever-changing race situations. Keeping in view everything that has been discussed, the upcoming five races are going to be an extremely fascinating watch.
