Romain Grosjean suffering ‘sleepless nights’ as he considers future post F1
Romain Grosjean says he has been having sleepless nights after finding out he had lost his Haas drive for🏅 the 2021 Formula 1 season.
Grosjean and teammate Kevin Magnussen lost their seats after Haas decided to replace both drivers fo🧸r next year, meaning both drivers are likely to spend a year out of F1 with a ♍lack of available spaces on the grid for next year.
Speaking at the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, Grosjean acknowledged it was not a good time to find himself ou꧑t of a job given the current global situation amid the coronavirus pandemic.
"If I am brutally honest I haven't been sleeping well for the last two weeksꦡ,” Grosjean s🧸aid.
"I🎀t is a tough year for the world, for the economy. It is not a good year to be out of contract and out of the s🅺port in any way.”
The Frenchman is understood to have taken part in a ౠrecent test with Formula E outfit Mahindra, while he has also expressed an interest in a potential ꧙switch to IndyCar.
"I have been looking at IndyCar,” Grosjean said. “I have had some contact and some good ones🌠.
"I kind of regret that I didn't check the calendar earlier. There a🌳re only two ovals, one short track. But it is something I would consider.
"I spoke with Marcus Ericsson when he went there 🅷and he really liked the differe🌜nt styles. The drivers have a big role to play and the car was fun and everyone has got a chance to win the race.
"Probably now I want to win races and ๊have a chance, and win races where I can have fun, so IndyCar is on th꧋e list.”
Grosjean has revealed George Russell sent him a message of sympathy when&nbs💎p;his departure from Haas was confirmed last month.
Grosjean recently sent a public message of support to Russell after he crashed out of the points under the Safety Car period duri🍰ng the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix, something Grosjean did himself in Baku in 2018.
“I’ve hജad a good relationship with George,” said Grosjean.
“When the announcement was made that I wasn’t going to be with the team next season, he was the first and only one to send me a WhatsAppꩲ message. That really shows that he’s a great guy.”
