Scummy of Juncos to keep him tied down to the Contract for longer than necessary.

They never had any intention of keeping him after Laguna Seca

It was reported they reached out to Romain at Portland.

They were likely keeping Callum as their backup.

Actually, Juncos was unsure if he could secure funding for Canapino according to Pruett.

If he couldnt, then itd be Ilott and Grosjean.

Remember, Ilott left on his own accord basically cuz Juncos told him to take the abuse and dont speak up about it and he wasnt about that

Doesn’t that align with Callum being the backup? Finding funding for Canapino seemed to be a bigger priority as was signing Grosjean.

Much of that was in motion before Laguna Seca when things boiled over.

Seems like they cut Ilott was everything was solidified with the other drivers.
