Romain Grosjean will get a new chance to prove his talents to the F1 world before the 2011 season is out. The Swiss-born Frenchman made an abortive Formula One debut in 2009 amid the ‘crashgate’ scandal but was replaced at the end of the year.
The 25-year-old, now managed by Renault team owner Genii, switched to GP2 this year and recently wrapped up the title. Grosjean will drive the R31 in Friday morning practice in Abu Dhabi and Brazil, the Lotus-sponsored team announced in India on Saturday morning.
He will drive Bruno Senna’s car in Abu Dhabi, and Vitaly Petrov’s at the season finale.
“Since 2009, he has improved in every area and I’m sure he’ll do a good job for us,” said team boss Eric Boullier.
