Juncos Hollinger-Canapino: the end
The continuation of the experience of Augustine Canapino In IndyCar it seemed really complex for the Argentine driver, and the confirmation came directly from his team Juncos Hollinger. The American company has in fact officially announced the separation with immediate effect from the 34-year-old, who will therefore not take part in the final commitments of the championship, starting with the one scheduled for next week on the oval of Madison.
The Detroit Facts
Winner of multiple Touring Car Championships in Argentina, Canapino made his debut in IndyCar last year with the Juncos Hollinger team, surprising on his debut with a 12th place in St. Petersburg but finishing the 2023 season in 21st position. The current championship, however, has experienced a decidedly controversial moment after the round of Detroitwhere there had been contact between him and the McLaren driver Theo Pourchaire.
An episode that had unleashed the ire of Argentine fans, who had heavily offended the Frenchman online with death threats. After that incident, McLaren had decided to interrupt the commercial partnership with Juncos Hollinger, with the latter then excluding Canapino from the Road America race calling in his place Nolan Siegel.
The press release
This is the official press release published by the team, which in the meantime has not yet announced Romain Grosjean’s future teammate for the rest of the season: “We would like to express our sincere thanks to Agustín for making the leap into one of the fastest and most competitive categories in the world, trusting in JHR and everything this series represents. Both Agustín and the team have worked hard to learn, grow and achieve success during his time with JHR, and we are extremely proud of what we have achieved together. We wish him the best in his racing career and hope to meet him again in future projects.”
