Guenther Steiner is happy to see Romain Grosjean’s success at IndyCar

After being dropped by the Haas F1 Team at the end of the 2020 season, Romain Grosjean joined Dale Coyne Racing to compete in IndyCar. So far in his rookie year, the Frenchman has been immensely impressive, securing two podiums. Meanwhile, Grosjean’s former Formula 1 team principal, Guenther Steiner, is thrilled to see him succeed at IndyCar.

“I’m very happy for him. Last year was very tough for him. I’m not going back to the incident [in Bahrain]. It’s our car last year, you know, where we were. So it was a tough year for him,” said Steiner in an interview with Motorsport.com.

“It’s good that he can come back and do what he’s doing. Because he is clearly surprising people because he’s not in one of the big three teams, which makes it already difficult, but he’s always showing that he’s there when there is something good to be taken.”

“For sure, I know the guy now well enough, he will be very motivated by that. Because he lives on his results. That is what he does. So I’m very happy for him.”
