- Grosjean gets final F1 return seven months after horror crash
- French driver given use of Lewis Hamilton’s 2019 car
Romain Grosjean is to make a final return to Formula One, just as he had hoped he might in the aftermath of the crash that ended his racing career in the sport. Grosjean was almost killed when his Haas was engulfed in flames during an accident at the Bahrain Grand Prix last November. The Mercedes team had promised him a drive when he recovered and have delivered. Grosjean is set to run a test day for the team and demonstration laps at the French GP in June.
The 35-year-old Frenchman, who now competes in IndyCar, had been hopeful of leaving F1 with more pleasant memories than those of his accident, so the opportunity to drive Lewis Hamilton’s 2019 title-winning W10 car at his home circuit, Paul Ricard, will be a satisfying coda to his horrific accident.
