A betrayal years in the making. A transfer no one expected. A scandal that could BREAK McLaren.
Formula 1 has been shaken to its core as Oscar Piastri CONFIRMS his move to Ferrari, detonating a bombshell that has triggered panic, suspicion, and outright chaos inside McLaren.
But the transfer itself isnāt the scandalā¦
Itās why he left.
And what he has now revealed.
š„ PIASTRI ACCUSES McLAREN OF SABOTAGE ā AND THE FIA IS WATCHING
Moments after confirming his Ferrari contract, Piastri dropped allegations so severe they could result in one of the worst punishments in F1 history.
According to Piastriās camp:
šØ McLaren fed him outdated simulator data
šØ Critical setup information was withheld
šØ Strategy sheets were āadjustedā before key races
šØ His car development path was intentionally limited
These accusations point to one thing:
š Systematic favoritism toward Lando Norris ā and deliberate suppression of Piastriās performance.
If proven true, this goes beyond team politics ā it becomes artificial competitive distortion, a direct violation of F1 sporting integrity.
The FIA has already begun reviewing late-night internal communications.
And insiders say the tone feels exactly like the early days of Spygate.

it revealed a culture where silence, favoritism, and backroom politics reign.

š„ Equal status
š„ Control over development direction

This isnāt a transfer.
This is a coup.

And drivers can be undermined in silence.

Or let this become the new normal?
