The situation arose as fans of JHR driver Agustin Canapino sent online threats to Arrow McLaren driver Theo Pourchaire after the Detroit Grand Prix. Both teams and Canapino issued statements addressing the abuse, with Canapino implying that the severity of the threats did not warrant a response and hoping it would not happen again. These reactions resulted in the immediate termination of the commercial partnership between JHR and Arrow McLaren, which had just begun this season. Arrow McLaren stated that they will not tolerate any form of abuse or discrimination directed towards their team and driver. This incident is not the first time Canapino’s fans have overreacted to on-track incidents, as similar threats were made last season to another JHR driver, Callum Ilott. Juncos Hollinger Racing thanked McLaren for their partnership but acknowledged that the results did not materialize, expressing confidence in the future of their team. The commercial partnership between Arrow McLaren and Juncos Hollinger Racing, initiated in October, lasted for only six rounds of the 2024 season.
