The Formula 1 world is on fire once again — and this time, the flames are coming straight out of Maranello.
In an explosive twist that has blindsided the entire paddock, Ferrari has officially signed Oscar Piastri in a multi-million-dollar deal, ripping the young sensation straight out of McLaren’s hands after a devastating internal leak exposed the team’s darkest secrets.
What was supposed to be a routine post-race weekend after São Paulo has now spiraled into the biggest driver-market scandal of the season.
And the shockwaves? They’re only just beginning.
💥 OPERATION RED PHOENIX: FERRARI STRIKES WITH DEADLY PRECISION
Just hours after the Brazilian Grand Prix, Ferrari executed one of the cleanest and most ruthless moves in recent F1 memory — locking Piastri into a contract until 2028, positioning him as a central figure ahead of the monumental 2026 regulation shift.
Insiders reveal that this wasn’t a spontaneous decision.
Ferrari had been quietly preparing this raid for weeks, waiting for the exact moment McLaren’s internal chaos spilled into the public eye.
When it finally did — they pounced.
This is not just a signing.
This is Ferrari making a statement:
“We’re done waiting. The future starts now.”
⚡ THE MCLAREN LEAK: A DAMNING DOSSIER BLOWS EVERYTHING OPEN
The scandal erupted when a disgruntled McLaren performance engineer leaked a trove of documents exposing a systematic bias in favor of Lando Norris.
The files lay out:
-
🚫 Restricted access to critical car upgrades for Piastri
-
🚫 Unequal simulator time
-
🚫 Internal directives prioritizing Norris for development
-
🚫 Political interference in race strategy calls
One document chillingly states:
“Priority resources assigned to LN unless otherwise directed.”
This wasn’t just favoritism.
This was sabotage disguised as team strategy.
Piastri’s breaking point came during an emergency meeting where he reportedly said:
“This isn’t the future I was promised.”
And with that, the bridge burned.
🔥 PIASTRI FINDS HIS FREEDOM — AND FERRARI WELCOMES HIM WITH OPEN ARMS

💰 A massive multi-million salary bump

Ferrari has made it clear:

Some insiders even call this the most aggressive recruitment move Ferrari has made since the Schumacher era.
