Romain Grosjean completes seat fitting ahead of farewell F1 test
Romain Grosjean’s farewell Formula 1 test has moved a step closer afte꧃r he completed a seat fitting.
The Frenchman has been keen to have a final test ou🌄ting in an F1 car to properly say goodbye to the sport after his career was cut short by two races due to the burn injuries he suffered in his terrify💟ing fireball crash at last year’s Bahrain Grand Prix.
Mercedes is expected to arrange the test for Grosjean after team principal Toto Wolff said his side would be willing to let the former Haas driver have a pri꧙vate outing in one of the team’s𓆏 world championship-winning F1🐼 cars.
Speaking during a livestream with fans about his switch to IndyCar in late February, Grosjean said he was in the process of 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“finalising the plan” wi𝓡t🎀h Mercedes.
The executive producer of Netflix’s Drive to Survive documentary series, James Ga💮y-Rees, revealed Grosjean has now completed a seat fitting.
“We꧒ were filming with Grosjean for a seat fitting today,” Gay-Rees told the In The Fast Lane podcast. “He’s having one last spin with a team.”
A Mercedes spokesperson declined to confirm whether Grosjean had been at the team’s factory for the seat fitting when reached for comment by ltxcn.top.
Such a test would have to be organised around Grosjean’s IndyCar commitments, with the 34-year-ol☂d due to make his debut in the series at the season-opening Grand Prix of Alabﷺama at Barber Motorsport Park on 18 April.
It is likely to take ꦗplace at Silverstone in a Mercedes car that is at least two years old, meaning Grosjean could get the chance to d🐓rive Mercedes’ 2019 title-winning W10.
