How will Romain Grosjean adapt to his new IndyCar team, Juncos Hollinger Racing? Jack Benyon analyses the move and what we can expect from the relationship
Romain Grosjean has officially joined Juncos Hollinger Racing team, replacing Callum Ilott. Juncos, once known for one-off upsets, is now an established two-car IndyCar team with a link to McLaren. However, there may be concerns about Grosjean’s fit with the team, as he has expressed difficulties with understeering cars in the past, which is an issue Juncos has faced. The team’s understeer struggles have been more prominent on street circuits, but there is hope for improvement with development in certain areas like dampers. Both Grosjean and Ilott have significant marketing potential, which is important for the team’s funding. Moreover, Juncos has a strong reputation in South America and Argentina, and their strategic partnership with McLaren may help exploit Pato O’Ward’s following in the region. Grosjean’s large fanbase, with over a million followers, is also seen as a positive for the team.
