« Romain is a strong reinforcement for the team, rejoices Andrea Piccini, the main team of Iron Lynx. Since we raced against each other in 2010, Romain has achieved brilliant things both in Formula 1 and in IndyCar. He has proven himself to be a pilot of great caliber, who always rises to the occasion.

A true born competitor, he is an uncompromising driver who is not afraid to make bold moves on the track and is one of the greatest talents of the recent F1 era. We expect Romain to fight hard for every place and every point throughout the season.

I am very excited to have the opportunity to work together, both as team principal and driver, and I know he will bring all his experience to Iron Lynx as we begin our new chapter with Lamborghini ».

« It's an honor to join Lamborghini, it's an iconic brand for all car enthusiasts, including my sons and me, adds Grosjean. I'm really looking forward to two things: the first is to compete at Daytona with GT3 and to make my debut with a good team like Iron Lynx. I can't wait to get to know my teammates.

Later in the season there will be the development of the new LMDh, which is really beautiful. I'm lucky to have seen her. It's an incredible project. Endurance is becoming an extremely exciting category with the arrival of all these manufacturers. I hope we can do well with Lamborghini ».

A busy schedule for Grosjean in 2023, which he will lead in parallel with the IndyCar season where he will drive for Andretti Autosport.
