Mercedes forced to postpone Grosjean’s F1 farewell test at Paul Ricard

Initially, Grosjean was set to drive Lewis Hamilton’s 2019 title-winning Mercedes W10 in a private test day at 𝓀Pa🐎ul Ricard on June 29 as well as completing a series of demonstration laps at the French Grand Prix on June 27.
With the French GP being rescheduled for this weekend as a result of the Turkish GP being cancelled due to the worsening COVID-19 situation in the country, Grosjean was no longer able to𝓀 drive the W10 during his home grand prix weekend due to a clash with his IndyCar commitments.
Grosjean was unable to compete in the final twꦏo races of his F1 career after injuries sustained in his drama⭕tic crash at the 2020 Bahrain Grand Prix.
The Frenchman expressed his desire to have one last opportunity to drive an F1 car with Mer🎃cedes boss Toto Wolff saying that h🦹e would arrange the test for Grosjean, ultimately delivering on his promise.
The former Lotus and Haas driver completed a seat fit at Mercedes’ base in 𒀰Brackley back in April.
