The IndyCar scandal continues with the collision between the Frenchman and the Argentine seriously compromising the Titan’s race in Detroit. Now, the British have dissolved the alliance between the teams due to the “harassment” of their pilot, which they blame on Reef fans.
After what was the controversy in the clash between Agustín Canapino and Théo Pouchaire within Detroit GPThe IndyCar added a new chapter to history afterwards McLaren and Juncos Hollinger Racing confirm the end of their alliance. The reason? Threats to the French driver on social networks, which McLaren directed at Reef’s Argentine followers.
“Today, our strategic partnership with Arrow McLaren has come to an end. We appreciate the time spent at McLaren over the past few months. They are a world class organization that we enjoy competing against week in and week out. Although the results have not matured, we have the utmost respect for them and we are confident in the future of Juncos Hollinger Racing“, read the statement that the Canapino team informed about the end of the alliance. Meanwhile, from McLaren they are more blunt: “Arrow McLaren IndyCar Team has ended its commercial alliance with Juncos Hollinger Racing, effective immediately“.
By explaining the motivations behind the decision, The British team pointed to the harassment Pouchaire received after causing the crash that led to Canapino’s retirement in Detroit: “This decision follows the actions that took place earlier this week on social media regarding an on-track incident at the Detroit Grand Prix. As reflected in the team’s social media community code, Arrow McLaren will not tolerate any form of abuse or discrimination and fully condemns online abuse directed at our team and drivers.“So, it seems useless. Canapino’s official statement, condemning the attacks against the French pilot on social networks.
In dialogue with Carbureting Radio, Canapino asked McLaren and Pourchaire to resign, because he thinks there are no death threats through social networks.. Furthermore, from Juncos Hollinger Racing assured that the Argentine “He was afraid to be present at the weekend with everything that happened“and “think there are only a few messages” from accounts with no followers. “What Augustine emphatically asks is that Both McLaren and Teo Pourchaire retracted everything they said and what they accused him and the Argentines of, because they did not want to tolerate this level of discrimination.” they added.

During the Detroit Grand Prix, the action on the track was frictional from the start: seconds after the start There was a massive clash that Canapino narrowly avoided.. At that moment, he Titan jumped nonstop from 17th to 10th place. In the words of #78 himself, the race was “crazy, as expected.” The day lasted more than two hours and was full of yellow flags.
In one of the many restarts, specifically the one on lap 60, Canapino had a crash that affected his good performance: the Frenchman Theo Pourchaire launched himself in the first corner and crashed his left front tire.
