Prema Racing IndyCar team and its technical director Michael Cannon have parted ways ahead of the team’s debut season. Cannon, who joined Prema from AJ Foyt Racing, had significantly contributed to the team’s performance improvement over a two-year period. With experience at Forsythe, Andretti, and Chip Ganassi Racing, Cannon is highly regarded as one of the top engineering minds in IndyCar. Prema, which recently started its first-ever IndyCar season, is looking for a new technical director following Cannon’s departure. The team, led by group technical director Guillaume Capietto, will temporarily fill the role internally as it prepares for its first test on January 28 at the Thermal Club in California. In addition to its exciting lineup of engineers with Formula 1 background, Prema has announced a talented driver roster, including Callum Ilott, Robert Shwartzman, and reserve driver Romain Grosjean.
