“Rumours of a bombshell defection for Oscar Piastri away from McLaren to bitter rivals Red Bull continue to bubble away, despite the bayside Melbourne product saying in the build-up to the Mexico Grand Prix “as far as I’m aware, there’s no truth to it”.”
‘At the moment’: Why the Piastri to Red Bull rumours aren’t dying down
Speculation is rife that Oscar Piastri could leave McLaren for their major rival and cryptic comments from the Aussie driver are only fanning the flames.

It reeks of Helmut saying shit behind the scenes trying to destabilize McLaren.

There's probably some truth to it, where there's smoke there's fire etc.
But my guess is they're floating the idea with him to replace Verstappen if he decides to leave in the new era, not Perez.

If its a Max replacement, then yes it makes sense to go after Piastri.
If it is to be a team mate of Max, it makes no sense on either side (Oscar would be be going from number 2 in one team, to number 2 in a possibly worse team, and Max wouldn't want a competitive team mate)

Piastri and Lawson would be an exciting combo.
Only counterpoint to that is that Max is 3 years older than Lando and has three, maybe four WC’s under his belt.
If he’s looking for a new challenge then he may be moving on soon.
Lando on the other hand is Brown’s golden boy and isn’t likely to be even thinking of opportunities elsewhere. At McLaren you would be #2 for a decade.
