After his F1 career had come to an early end in 2020 following his terrifying fireball crash at the Bahrain Grand Prix that tore his car in two and left him with burns to h🍌is hands, Mercedes announced they would give Grosjean a chance to drive one of their F1 cars at Paul Ricard in 2021. 

The Frenchman was scheduled to drive 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s championship-winning W10 during a demonstra𝔉tion run at the French Grand Prix, which was tꦿo be followed up with a special test after the race weekend.

Ho𓄧wever, last-minute changes to the 2021 F1 calendar meant that the test had to be put on hold. Over two years on and the test stil🌱l hasn’t been rescheduled - largely down to Grosjean’s full-time commitments in IndyCar. 

Asked if he was still🌠 interested in the opportunity, Grosjean told GP Racing: “Yes,ꦜ absolutely. We haven’t found the time yet – and yes, it’s all my fault.

“It’s not easy thou🀅gh – I’m looking at 30 race weekends next year. You guys complain about 24 in F1 and I have 18 in IndyCar, seven in endurance and five in F1 with Canal+ [as a broadcaster]. So it’s not easy t💃o add a test.”

The 37-year-old also admitted the delay has partly been caused by his desire to try out the latest geneꦬration of F1 cars.

“Also, very🔯 selfishly, I’m trying to delay it to the po💜int where I can actually test a new generation of cars,” Grosjean said. 

“But yeah, I’m still keen to do it and whenever I see Toto h🔯e always confirms that it’s going to happen. Yes, it would be very cool to get back in an F1 car.”
