Romain Grosjean is an established professional racing driver, rated 5,272, with FIA Platinum grading in sportscar and endurance racing. He competes in IndyCar for Dale Coyne Racing, where he has raced since 2021 on a mix of oval, road and street courses. He is currently active across multiple series; his most recent indexed start came in WEC in 2024 driving a Lamborghini for Iron Lynx.[1]
Grosjean won two championships in single-seaters: the 2007 Formula 3 Euro Series with ASM Formule 3 and the 2011 GP2 Series with DAMS, where he took 9 wins from 51 starts. He competed in Formula 1 from 2009 to 2020, recording 181 starts and 10 podiums for Haas F1 Team, finishing ahead of generational talents Max Verstappen nine times and George Russell fifteen times. His transition to IndyCar in 2021 brought seven podiums across 82 starts through 2026; he has also taken on international endurance racing, appearing in IMSA WeatherTech and the World Endurance Championship in recent years.[2]
In IndyCar, Grosjean competes regularly against Marcus Ericsson, an established professional with nearly 300 career starts across three series, and they have proven closely matched. He has also met Sebastian Vettel, an elite professional and four-time Formula 1 world champion, across their single-seater careers, though typically finished behind him. His record against the strongest drivers he has faced shows occasional success against generational talent; his ability to extract results from machinery that has not dominated his categories characterises his career across single-seater and open-wheel racing.
