Romain Grosjean's Haas exploded in flames after a crash at the Bahrain Grand Prix in November AFP/Bryn LennonPARIS: Romain Grosjean, who suffered a terrifying crash in November, will be back at the wheel of a Formula One car for a test with Mercedes at the end of June in France, the team said on Wednesday .
Immediately after the crash, Toto Wolff, the Mercedes team principal said he would not let the accident mark the end of Grosjean's Formula One career. Grosjean will drive a 2019 Mercedes, the W10 model in which Lewis Hamilton won the world championship, on June 27 in"demonstration laps" ahead of the French Grand Prix at the Paul Ricard Circuit and then on June 29 in private testing on the same track.
"F1 didn't get the chance to race in France during 2020 because of COVID so driving a Mercedes at the French Grand Prix in 2021 and then completing a test at the Circuit Paul Ricard, my home track, will be so special. I can't wait," he said in the Mercedes statement.
