JAKARTA A small opportunity owned by Oscar Piastri to win the Formula One (F1) racing world title for the 2025 season has become a wild conspiracy theory discussed in a Senate meeting in Australian parliament.
The wild conspiracy was appointed by politician Matt Canavan to the Legislation Committee for Regional Affairs and Transportation. He argued that McLaren might have deliberately made Piastri fail to win the world title this year.
The statement came after McLaren's strategic error cost Piastri a win at the F1 Qatar 2025 Grand Prix so now he is down to third place in the drivers' standings.
"It's been quite a frustrating night for some Australians. I don't know who to ask, but you're dealing with transportation and cars."

"So, do you think McLaren is biased against Oscar Piastri and cost him the world championship?" Canavan said as quoted by Crash.
The Assistant Minister for Regional Affairs, Anthony Chisholm, responded to this question. He said that Piastri must have been very upset after the disappointing F1 of the Qatar 2025 Grand Prix.
"I'm sure he's made some tough decisions this year. As someone who has a daughter obsessed with F1, he will definitely be very upset when he wakes up this morning," he said.
Piastri performed well in Qatar and looked like they had a chance to win a crucial victory in Qatar before McLaren's mistake made Max Verstappen of Red Bull who managed to climb the highest podium.
The Australian racer then slumped to third place in the standings ahead of the 2025 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix F1 which is the closing series of the season. He now has 392 points, four points behind Verstappen in second place.
Meanwhile, in the top position occupied by Lando Norris with a collection of 408 points. The very thin difference in points between the three riders made it certain that the last F1 Grand Prix in Abu Dhabi would run fiercely.
