The Geneva, Switzerland native spent the last five years with Haas F1. His 2020 campaign ended early when he was involved in a fiery crash in the Bahrain Grand Prix’s opening lap in late November. He was undecided what his next career move would be, and it turned out it would be in IndyCar.
Romain Grosjean got a taste of F1 racing in 2009 with the ING Renault F1 Team at the age of 23. He didn’t return to the series until 2012, when he signed with the Lotus F1 Team. He spent four years with the team before moving to Haas.
Romain Grosjean expected to be force in IndyCar
“We’ve been talking to Romain for some time now, even before his accident at Bahrain,” commented Team Owner Dale Coyne. “He has shown interest in the NTT INDYCAR SERIES for the past several months, and we’re very happy that he has chosen to pursue his career with us and excited to welcome a driver with his pedigree to America, the Series, and our team. We feel that he’ll be a force to be reckoned with in the Series.”
Grosjean first outing will be at Barber Motorsports Park in the IndyCar opener on Apr. 18, and his teammate will be 2017 IndyCar Rookie of the Year Ed Jones. He will be driving the No. 18 Dale Coyne Racing with Vasser Sullivan entry.
