Romain Grosjean still in a deadlock for 2025

Romain Grosjean will he still be on the grid?IndyCar next year? At the moment, it is very difficult to answer this question in the affirmative. Author of an encouraging first campaign under the colours of Juncos Hollinger, the Tricolore does not know what its future holds.

The common desire to continue the adventure together is real while the last places are being played out. Nevertheless, the case is more complex than that because the team of Ricardo Juncos and Brad Hollinger can hardly afford to make concessions to extend Romain Grosjean's contract by one year, given its financial situation, it which is imperatively looking for partners.

« It's a question of budget, explains the French pilot from RACER. Right now, I don't have anything planned. The situation is what it is. I think this season was probably one of my best, and I could end up not being on the grid in 2025, just because the marketing has been horrible for IndyCar, hybrid has driven the costs to an unsustainable level for the teams, and that's just the way it goes.

We have built something good that I would like to continue and so would they. But we need sponsors, so we are actively trying to find money for the car. Once it is financed, then we can race »

Coincidentally, the other team that still has seats available is Dale Coyne Racing, the team with which Romain Grosjean began his IndyCar adventure in 2021. Is this an opportunity?

« I never stopped talking to DaleHe says. I really like him as a person. We’re still in touch, and I’m not a genius, but I think there are only two teams left on the grid to trade with. There’s a lot of work to do in Dale’s team – the last two seasons have been a bit difficult. But if we don’t get a deal done with Juncos, that’s also an option. Pick up where we left off, hopefully do something good. »
