Juncos Hollinger Racing team co-owner Ricardo Juncos says that he is really happy with how the team has performed this weekend on the streets of Toronto with Callum Ilott and Agustin Canapino starting the race from 16th and 18th respectively. Speaking following qualifying, Juncos commented saying:
“I’m really happy with how this weekend has gone so far. We’ve made huge improvements as a team, and both drivers are doing a great job. Unfortunately we qualified in the rain, but we still looked strong. Callum was really close to making it into the top six of the group, while Agustín also did a fantastic job.
“We are really happy as a team and are motivated to continue pushing forwards. The team chemistry is really high, and everyone has made a great effort this weekend. I would like to thank our sponsors, as they make all of
this happen.
“Now, we’re looking forward to tomorrow. In the warmup, we will look to understand the tires further as well as the fuel loads and strategy. It will be a great event, as there are a huge number of fans here. They should see a great race tomorrow!”
Callum Ilott commented saying:
Qualifying was pretty eventful. It rained just before our group’s turn to qualify, so that wasn’t ideal. We did a decent job and were running inside the top six right until the last lap, but I just got pipped by a couple of people late on. That was tough, as I knew we had good pace.
“Now, I’m looking forward to tomorrow’s race. I know that our car will be competitive in the dry here, so we should be strong.
Agustin Canapino will start his first race in Toronto from a career-best 18th place on the grid and speaking following the action he commented saying:
I’m really happy with my performance today, as P18 is my best qualifying result so far this year. I’m really proud as it was also my first time driving in wet conditions with an INDYCAR.
“I would like to thank the whole team for their efforts. Tomorrow, we have a great opportunity to have a good race.”
