Romain Grosjean may not be a Juncos Hollinger Racing driver for the 2025 IndyCar season as the former Formula 1 driver has other offers.
After spending two years with Andretti Autosport, the Frenchman is coming towards the end of his first season with Juncos Hollinger.
Since moving from Formula 1, he has failed to capture the elusive victory in IndyCar but has stood on the podium five times in his career and taken fourth place this season.
Grosjean has been fast this season on multiple types of circuits, taking eighth place on the streets of Long Beach and finishing 10th on the short oval at Iowa Speedway.
Co-owner Ricardo Juncos believes Romain Grosjean ‘sets the bar high’
Juncos Hollinger Racing have suffered a difficult couple of seasons as last year ended in a fractious relationship between the team and Callum Ilott.
The 2024 campaign was marred by more drama, particularly surrounding Agustin Canapino’s fans after an incident on the streets of Detroit.
Despite the issue and unwanted attention, Grosjean has offered stability throughout the season, breaking into the top 10 on multiple occasions.
Juncos told Autosport that Grosjean doesn’t overcomplicate things and that the Frenchman is easy to work with.
He said: “Grosjean is a driver who brings a lot, a lot of experience. “This year has really been very good to work with him. The truth is that he sets the bar high. He is simple, with a lot of personality. He puts it in black and white, as I like.
“He is very affectionate with people, especially with the mechanics. It is as if the team is not divided.”
This is a critical trait in helping to improve a team, particularly as Grosjean has so much experience in Formula 1, competing against the world’s best drivers.
Ricardo Juncos admits he is unsure whether Romain Grosjean will stay with the team
Grosjean has finished in the top 10 on five occasions this season and has rarely been caught up in incidents.
The Frenchman has also sampled endurance racing, racing in the 24 Hours of Le Mans for Lamborghini in the Hypercar class.
Juncos said that Grosjean is a person that people within the team can learn a lot from: “He is one of those people from whom one learns a lot. But, right now, we don’t know if we will be able to continue with him or not.
“He already has offers from other places. There are many drivers around, and there are some options – that are not many yet – with free seats for next year.”
