F1: Romain Grosjean calls out to Mercedes
Victim of a terrible accident in Bahrain in 2020, Romain Grosjean has not driven Formula 1 since that day. The entire paddock had expressed their support for him, like Mercedes who offered him a glorious exit by doing a test with a German single-seater. He has not forgotten and hopes to find the time to honor this invitation.
Romain Grosjean is a miracle. The images of his accident Bahrain are still as chilling as ever and we still wonder how he was able to escape from his car cut in two and engulfed in flames. This accident also marked the end of his career in Formula 1 since he has not driven in the premier category since this huge scare. Mercedes then suggested that he finish in style by carrying out a test with one of his single-seaters. A test which has still not been carried out because of the French pilot as he readily admits. Nevertheless, he has not forgotten and is waiting for a call from Mercedes to set a date.

Grosjean wants to find time to carry out his test with Mercedes
« If the test is still relevant? Yes, absolutely. We haven’t found the time yet – and yes, it’s all my fault. It’s not easy though – I’m looking at 30 race weekends next year. You complain about 24 in F1 and I have 18 in IndyCar, seven in endurance and five in F1 with Canal+. So it’s not easy to add a test “, said Romain Grosjean in an interview given to GP Racing. The French pilot would like to be able to pilot the F1 new generation.
“Every time I see Toto he always confirms that this is going to happen”
« But, very selfishly, I’m trying to delay this until the point where I can actually test the new generation of ground effect F1 cars. But yes, I still want to do it and every time I see Toto he always confirms that it’s going to happen. Yes, it would be very cool to get back into an F1 “, added Romain Grosjean. The message got through.
