The Formula 1 world is in absolute chaos.
Explosive new allegations suggest that McLaren may have intentionally sabotaged Oscar Piastri’s car during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix — in a desperate attempt to derail his secret deal with Ferrari.
According to shocking insider reports, engineers were ordered to make “last-minute setup adjustments” just minutes before lights out in Baku. Moments later, Piastri’s car mysteriously lost power, destroying what should have been one of his strongest weekends of the season.
Now, whispers inside the paddock claim it wasn’t an accident. It was a calculated move — designed to make Piastri look unreliable and “cool Ferrari’s interest” before his blockbuster transfer became public.
“Something was off — the car felt wrong from lap one,” one team insider allegedly revealed.
“And then… they told us not to touch the setup notes. That’s not normal.”
The situation reportedly exploded after the race, when Piastri’s manager, Mark Webber, stormed into McLaren’s command center demanding answers. Tensions boiled over as Webber accused senior engineers of tampering with the setup, a charge McLaren leaders “strongly denied” — but offered no explanation for the mysterious power loss.
The story has ignited a firestorm across the paddock, with #JusticeForPiastri trending among fans furious at what they’re calling “the dirtiest play of the season.” Even Toto Wolff has reportedly hinted that McLaren may have crossed a “serious ethical line.”
And the timing couldn’t be worse. Ferrari’s interest in Piastri has only intensified, with sources inside Maranello claiming that the alleged sabotage backfired spectacularly — proving to them just how valuable the Australian really is.
McLaren’s silence is deafening. Sponsors are said to be demanding “clarity,” while FIA officials are quietly watching developments that could lead to a full investigation.
👉 The question every F1 fan is asking:
Did McLaren really sacrifice their own driver to keep him trapped?
If true, this would be one of the biggest scandals in modern F1 history — a betrayal not just of a driver, but of the very spirit of competition.
🔥 The world is watching.
And in the heart of Baku, it seems the race for glory has turned into a war for survival.
