A signing that is accompanied by a modified program for the former Haas driver in Formula 1 because, after having overlooked the ovals apart from that of Gateway, he will take part in all 17 races on the calendar. of the 2022 season. This means that he will be at the start of the five races scheduled on oval circuits, including the prestigious Indianapolis 500 Miles. It is with this objective in mind that Romain Grosjean recently joined Indiana to submit to the “rookie orientation program” during a test session scheduled for Wednesday at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, with prescriptions very strict to follow so that the organizers of the championship ensure that the Genevan is able to hold his place during the race.
