💥 The Formula 1 world has been shaken to its core! Just moments after the chaotic Singapore Grand Prix, Oscar Piastri has officially confirmed a multi-million dollar move to Ferrari, in a deal that’s being hailed as one of the biggest driver transfers in modern F1 history.
The 24-year-old Aussie prodigy has inked a four-year contract worth an astonishing $150 million, including a $25 million signing bonus and performance-based incentives that could make him one of the highest-paid drivers on the planet. With an annual salary of $37.5 million, Piastri now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with Hamilton and Verstappen in the sport’s financial elite.
🔥 Ferrari’s move is more than just a signing — it’s a power play, a declaration of war. Sources inside Maranello describe it as a “strategic strike” designed to destabilize McLaren and signal the start of a new era of dominance. The timing — immediately after Singapore — caught McLaren completely off guard. CEO Zak Brown is said to be “furious and blindsided,” believing negotiations were still ongoing. Instead, Ferrari dropped a bombshell that left the paddock reeling.
📈 McLaren, still recovering from losing their star talent, now faces a major financial and performance setback. Ferrari is reportedly prepared to pay a $40 million compensation fee to secure Piastri’s release — a staggering figure that underscores their desperation to reshape their lineup and dethrone Red Bull.
Inside Ferrari, the tension is already brewing. Charles Leclerc, long considered the team’s golden boy, now faces a massive challenge — and a teammate earning millions more. “This changes everything,” a source close to the team said. “Leclerc has never faced internal pressure like this before.”
💣 This deal isn’t just about money — it’s about power, legacy, and the future of Formula 1. Piastri’s arrival at Ferrari could redefine team dynamics across the grid and ignite a new driver market arms race.
As the dust settles, fans are left with one burning question:
👉 Has Ferrari just bought back their glory days — or lit the fuse on their biggest internal war yet?
