Where Gannon Fits on Lance Stroll's Car
Gannon is the senior race engineer on Lance Stroll‘s car in 2026, and Stephen Glass holds the race engineer title on the same car. Gannon backs up that operation with the setup, session timing, tire and driver-feedback work he described in his Haas team profile.
The split mirrors Alonso’s side of the garage, where Chris Cronin is senior race engineer alongside Andrew Vizard. Experience is his main asset. He engineered Max Chilton at Marussia and four drivers at Haas before joining Aston Martin in January 2025.
