Oscar Piastri has reacted to signing a new long-term deal with Mclaren.

The Australian has penned a contract until at least 2028 ahead of his home Grand Prix this weekend.

Piastri, 23, came fourth in the world title standings last year.

"It's a great feeling knowing that I'm part of McLaren's long-term vision. The team had the belief in me when we signed in 2022, and the journey we've gone on over the past two seasons to help return McLaren to the very top of the sport has been incredible," said Piastri.

"There are so many talented and special people working at MTC who have helped me to become a Formula One race winner very early in my career. Therefore, I'm very proud to be continuing to represent this legendary team for many years to come.

"I'm excited to fight for the big prizes as a McLaren driver and after last year's fantastic achievements, it has made me even hungrier to stay at the sharp end."
