Shwartzman set for American open-wheel debut with single-seater powerhouse after departing Ferrari
Prema Racing will field Robert Shwartzman alongside Callum Ilott for its maiden IndyCar campaign in 2025, bringing together two drivers the Italian squad had success with in junior formulas. This is a new career path for Shwartzman, who won the FIA F3 championship in 2019 and was the F2 runner-up in F2 two years later – both times with Prema – but never made it to the Formula 1 grid.

'I have never driven on ovals and to master them, it will be a completely new challenge. 'However, with Prema we achieved a lot in the past, and I think that my F1 and endurance experience will be helpful to make us evolve fast and get up to speed quickly.
