Mercedes offered him to test his F1 as a farewell to the Great Circus after the accident
He anticipates that Wolff can expect a call from him during the year
Grosjean was left without contesting what would have been his last Formula 1 races as a result of his very bad accident in Bahrain. Mercedes had the gesture of offering him a test to make him have a good farewell to the Great Circus. Romain does not forget the offer, although he believes that right now is not the best time to test the Mercedes.
“I really want to get into Mercedes Formula 1. It is an offer that you cannot refuse, it would help me to understand the car and how it works. Right now I think they are at their peak designing the new car for the new season and understanding when it is going to get started and how it’s going to be, “Grosjean told The Race.
However, Romain says Toto will get his call sometime this year, when he gets over his adaptation to IndyCar and in F1 it will be a more relaxed time of the season.
“I won’t call Toto right now, but you can expect a call asking him to get on me. It would be absolutely gorgeous, but right now I’m going to America for 15 days and I’m going to spend time there to learn about IndyCar. I just want to get started with the IndyCar program before I think of other things, “he added.
Toto and Romain have not yet spoken, but they have told Grosjean from the factory that the test would be impossible right now. At Mercedes they are too busy preparing for the season to think about doing an extra test now. Later the Frenchman will call Wolff.
“There has not been any firm communication. I have spoken with someone and they say they are very busy making new cars and stuff, something I know,” he stressed.
“I’ve been in Formula 1 long enough to understand that at this time of year the factories are full to get the cars ready, so I think it’s not a good time to talk about that, but I’ll call Toto sometime and I’ll see what can be done “, insisted a Romain, grateful for the opportunity. Of course, it doesn’t happen every day that one is offered to drive one of the best cars in history.
