Romain Grosjean has signed a contract with IndyCar team Juncos Hollinger Racing after leaving Andretti Autosport at the end of the 2023 season. The Frenchman is replacing Callum Ilott, who agreed to part ways ahead of schedule despite an impressive campaign.<\/p>\n
Grosjean has been attempting to make a name for himself across the pond since leaving F1 at the end of the 2020 season following his crash at the Bahrain Grand Prix, in which his Haas machinery was engulfed in flames following an opening lap tangle with Daniil Kvyat.<\/p>\n
After a strong debut season in IndyCar with backmarker team Dale Coyne Racing in partnership with Rick Ware Racing, Grosjean made the move to Andretti Autosport, with whom he has raced for the past two seasons.<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old added three podiums to his tally during his two-year stint with Andretti, but a host of clumsy crashes and some public clashes with members of his crew left him without a drive heading into the winter break.<\/p>\n
