Former Ferrari Academy driver Robert Shwartzman will make a switch to IndyCar next season after signing for PREMA Racing. Last weekend's World Endurance Championship finale in Bahrain was Shwartzman's last as a Ferrari driver, with him reigniting his single-seater career. Shwartzman previously raced for PREMA in Formula 3 and Formula 2, whilst he also featured in F1 first practice at the Dutch Grand Prix earlier this year and recently in Mexico City. “I’m definitely very very excited to be back at PREMA to start a new adventure in INDYCAR," he said. "Everything will be new to us and there will be many challenges, but it will also be a lot of fun and a lot of work at the same time. "I think a very successful future lies ahead for us. INDYCAR is a very competitive series, with so many strong drivers, and I’m looking forward to the racing, as it looks really cool. "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."
