Romain Grosjean is hopeful of returning to Renault’s Formula 1 team at some point in t🅷he future when he can fight for a world championship, but has called a 2018 comeback “premꦚature”.

Grosjean made his F1 🍎debut with Renault back in 2009 before returning to the Enstone operation - which had become Lotus - in 2012, remaining there until the end of the 2015 sea🅰son.

Grosjean has since joined Haas and is set to remain with the American team for a third year in 2018, as confirmed by🐎 team owner Gene Haas last month.

“It﷽ was not such a big s🔥urprise for me, I’ve known this since September 2015. So I would call it a normal continuation, and things are great,” .

“The team is doing well and I want to he꧟lp it grow bigger. Of course, if one day there is the chance to be world champion, then great.”

Renault is known to be evaluating a number of drivers for a seat in 2018 alongside Nico Hulkenberg, with 𓃲Grosjean linked given his history with the brand and the notion of a French driver representing a French t🐬eam.


Grosjean denied having spoken with Renault about a 201♉8 seat, but did admit he wo꧅uld like to return to the team some day.

“No, I haven’t t🐓alked with Renault,” Grosjea𝄹n said.

“Going back to Renault one day🦩 would be lovely, but it should be the time when we really could be world champions together.

“That would be a superb sꦫituation, but rightඣ now it is a bit premature.”
