In reply to Dane. "It’s now been almost a decade and a half since he last won a race in any category" What a silly statement. It's been a decade since also Fernando Alonso won a race in either F1 or IndyCar.

Why do teams keep hiring this guy? He barely made it out of F1 alive and now he gets another go at Indy where he has already crashed out twice? The man is an uninsurable risk.

Hind sight being 20/20, he should have stayed at Coyne as he seemed to have real chemistry going on there. I hope he gets his first win this season. He deserves it.

In reply to RandomMallard.

They did not get rid of Ilott to make room for Grosjean. They hired Grosjean as the best available option after their relationship with Ilott irreparably fell apart.
Oddly enough, Grosjean fell out with Andretti in a way not unlike the Juncos - Ilott divorce. We will see how this particular marriage works out, although it might help that Grosjean is not British given the uneasy history between Argentina and Britain re: Falkands and all that…

As much as I like Grosjean, and want to see him do well, I still can't believe JHR got rid of Callum Ilott, who looked very impressive in what is far from a front running car, in order to get Romain in. I also don't see what they have to gain from it, as I would expect Grosjean is asking for quite a bit more money than Ilott would, and is definitely starting to show his age (if last season is anything to go by), compared to Ilott who would have many more years in Indy ahead of him.

Grosjean seems to have made a career out of almost delivering. It’s now been almost a decade and a half since he last won a race in any category and people are still hiring him. Romain hints of talent in a career of mediocrity.

Romain seems to be one of those drivers that perform better when stakes aren't that high. So I hope to see him returning to form. A small team like Juncos would appreciate it.

That being said, he's not really an improvement over what Juncos had in Callum.
