Why IndyCar is satisfying Grosjean’s appetite for his second life

After spending the majority of his 179-race Formula 1 career in middling to tail-end machinery, Romain Grosjean finds himself once again with an underdog team in IndyCar. While not without its challenges, he's relishing the more level playing field that means his Dale Coyne Racing crew can expect to claim a few scalps...

It took a lot to topple a global pandemic as 2020’s biggest motorsports story, but Romain Grosjean’s horrific fiery Bahrain Grand Prix crash provided such heart-stopping images that even Netflix didn’t need to over-egg the drama. Despite the burns he received, that prematurely curtailed his F1 career, it didn’t extinguish his passion for the sport and he’s found his perfect partner for a second life in IndyCar.

Five months on from that near-death experience, Motorsport.com sat down with him just before qualifying at St Petersburg in Florida.
