Romain Grosjean became the latest Indy Car hero when he backed the pole in just his third professional start. Not only that Grosjean finished second at the Indianapolis Grand Prix, yet when he is so far away from America, he still thinks about his decade only family, Formula 1.
Surviving one of the deadliest crashes ever, Romain Grosjean decided to bid adieu to F1 after his fireball crash in Bahrain. His presence was not only missed on the tracks, it was also the all-important, Grand Prix Driver’s Association, where he served as the director alongside Sebastian Vettel. And even though George Russell’s replaced him, he still plays an active role in the discussions.
What did Romain Grosjean say about Sebastian Vettel and George Russell
I’m still in contact with them, still part of it as a non-member [to discuss] safety issues, a few things. We have a WhatsApp group so I’m still in there, still giving my feedback also from my outside window. I can watch it from outside and you see things slightly differently, which is a good asset to have,” Grosjean revealed on F1 Podcast ‘Beyond the Grid.’ (Quotes via Formula 1)
His replacement, George Russell, is in his early 20s. It’s unusual for a driver this young to be serving as a director of the GDPA. However, Grosjean likes this combination, “It’s good to have George managing with Sebastian in the GPDA.”

Giving his full endorsement to the new Russell-Vettel pairing, he said, “I think George was the right guy. We needed a youngster to be on board, to bring in new ideas, a new vision. Between Sebastian Vettel and George Russell is, what, 10 or 15 years’ difference, which on track is not much, but in life, it’s a bit.”
