Alright when was that again.....?

[Vicitus]

Hell no. He is one of the luckiest F1 drivers ever.

 

[RasmusP]

Wishing him all the best! Pr wise he was kinda "unlucky" I'd call it. I hope he can show that he's a great driver!

I also hope that someone will show him how to set up angle corrected triple screens...

 

[BattleOvce]

Cool cool, but why not NASCAR? It would suite his drive style better.

Just a guess... but perhaps because he doesn't want to drive ovals?

Yes, if my recollection is correct, He have said several times in the past "I won't race at oval". The reason of that is safety concern and his family don't want him to do so. As a racer, probably he want to soak the great atmosphere of Indy 500 or NASCAR. But he will easily abandon his dream for his family's wish. The episode below suggest this.

"Hero" Grosjean confronted robbers in burglary attempt

Romain Grosjean's wife has hailed the Haas Formula driver as a hero for confronting robbers to 'protect his family' during a burglary at their home earlier this week.

He is a brave man and looks like nice guy. I'm happy about he found his new job this soon.

Out of curiosity what is the brand of his steering wheel please ?
The direct drive is from Fanatec but the wheel isn't.

LOL. That went over some heads....a bit like Grosjean.

Cube controls, probably an older Formula steering wheel as the CSX2 does not look identical

You could ask RG on twitter.

I don't rate him much as an F1 Champion - i don't think he's ever had one memorable win that i can look back at and think 'wow'. Whereas someone like Schumacher has plenty - Spain 96, Spa 95 etc.

Mercedes is like Ferrari in 2002 and 2004. Dominant without real competitors. Makes it plain, makes it boring. And Hamilton being a, in my opinion, too clean racer doesn't make it better.
So, it is hard, ofc, to find a memorable win of Hamilton.

Nothing, in modern F1 history, beats a MSC in his first year with Ferrari, winning Spain in a tough rain race - being faster around 4 seconds a lap.

---

Hamilton a or the GOAT? Nope, he drives really good, he's got an excellent car and team. End of the story. Put VET, VER and ALO in that Mercedes and it will get interesting again.

With his bad luck......oh boy I pray nothing wrong might happen to him

 

[NoseyGuyy]

I think referring to Grosjean as an "F1 outcast" is a little inappropriate. He was never rejected from the sport or ostracised from it - which is what an outcast is - as he spent 10 years in the sport.

 

[CRMS]

> Nothing, in modern F1 history .............. And MSC crashing in wet Monaco previous race!!

Except LH Silverstone 2008 and Turkey 2020.

In Indycar he doesn't.
Pretty sure He'd drive them in NASCAR since it's safer there. I'd bet NASCAR drivers are in a safer position than F1 guys heh
He'd need a good offer for that anyway, NASCAR is a whole different monster to tame

Not sure. Most open-wheel specialists failed big time at NASCAR.

 

[michelforest]

If so, he's very wise. I've said it very often that present day open-wheel cars have no business on ovals, it's much too dangerous.

 

[fatal4you]

The more important question is when is Romain joining the RaceDepartment forum?

 

[Morichin]

Cube Controls, I guess.

EDIT
I'm late. Seems to forgot to hit the button

I don't think you could call Grosjean and outcast unless you consider Hulkenburg and Kobayashi the same way.

 

[Jason Chamberlain]

Not sure. Most open-wheel specialists failed big time at NASCAR.

He's probably a better driver, but Danica Patrick leaps to mind as a good example of this.

 

[Jan Larsen]

I know why he dosent want to do ovals, but man It'd be a blast. I wouldnt mind taking the ovals then...
