Claims over death threats being sent IndyCar driver Theo Pourchaire’s way were questioned by a rival competitor, leading to a split in partnership between Arrow McLaren and Juncos Hollinger Racing.
The Arrow McLaren IndyCar team has decided to end its partnership with Juncos Hollinger Racing following a controversy involving social media death threats. The dispute originated from an on-track incident at the Detroit Grand Prix involving Arrow McLaren’s Theo Pourchaire and Juncos Hollinger’s Agustin Canapino. Pourchaire claimed to have received death threats online, prompting McLaren Group CEO Zak Brown to condemn the abuse as “sad and pathetic.” Canapino responded to the allegations by stating he had not personally seen any death threats directed at Pourchaire. Despite acknowledging receiving his fair share of abuse online, Canapino expressed his resolve to overlook such negativity. Arrow McLaren officially announced the termination of their collaboration with Juncos as a result of the recent online turmoil and reaffirmed their commitment to zero tolerance for any form of online abuse or discrimination towards their team and drivers.
