Romain Grosjean was scheduled to have a Formula 1 test opportunity with Mercedes several years ago and is still pushing to make it happen.
Romain Grosjean is determined to complete his Formula 1 test outing with Mercedes, despite his busy post-F1 schedule in the IndyCar Series and other racing commitments. The Frenchman’s F1 career was cut short after a horrific crash at the Bahrain Grand Prix in 2020, but Mercedes offered him a test opportunity. However, finding the time has been a challenge due to his packed schedule. Grosjean is still eager to test a new generation of cars and has been intentionally delaying the test to potentially get a chance in the current generation of F1 cars that will be introduced in 2022. Despite still experiencing occasional pain in his hand from his burns, Grosjean is primarily focused on his upcoming racing endeavors.
