Why Romain Grosjean's big IndyCar move went so badly wrong

[@664chrisman]

A perfect example of a quick driver who lacks the mental discipline to pull it all, and keep it all, together at the top tier. He needs a low-pressure environment to excel, if such a thing exists in motorsport.

The exact antithesis of Scott Dixon IMO: his mind fortitude is second to none, which made worlds of differences despite also being a hyper-aggressive driver himself.

He was very frustrated with a car not being set up right and probably even more by the horrifying strategies they came up with during 2 years. Yes it kept growing on him.

His results were not too bad, without the bad luck at the start of the season when he lost almost 60pts, he would be equal to Herta and Kirkwood. He is probably being fired not by his results, but because his relationship with Andretti staff went sour. Hope see him and the Lambos in Sao Paulo next season of WEC.

To be fair to Grosjean, some of this is on the team, but he's also responsible minus those incidents where he was crashed into which are far less than him crashing into other cars and walls. It got so bad with Grosjean this season that we literally started to bet how many laps before he DNF'd each race. That kind of predictability isn't good and coming from F1, you know his long history.

Something to note about the million dollars that goes to each full time entry in the top 22 points positions is that Andretti is the only team this applies to 4 entries for, all other teams only allow the top 3 entries to get the payout, which is why teams like CGR only run a 4th (and next year 5th) team when the additional drivers are pay drivers, as they won't get a payout.

The thing is, nowadays, even a really dominant driver in F1 maybe wouldn't translate to an all around driver in other categories. Even driving a Formula car like the Indycar, it's almost more similar some Stock Cars compared to Indycars than Indycars compared to the F1, specially for the new generation of F1 drivers. Maybe just Verstappen can drive "everything" on the asphalt, and Mick Schumacher seems to have a good Rally potential skills, but didn't translate his potential skills, being a slowburner shy person: he simple didn't had the enough time in F1, he chooses the worst environment to do his first steps there. But, well... I don't see, specially from the late 00s F1 drivers being all arounds drivers, they're "mastered" F1 and F1 it's just different, also, Grosjean wasn't that good F1 driver, honestly. So, nowadays FOR ME, again, F1 drivers, even the best ones probably can't dominate straight away in Indycar or maybe never in so many cases. And medium grade drivers like Erickson or even Sato can arrive from a category of mixed circuits, and prove to be really good on ovals, contradicting expectations. F1 is a mean tech money based constructors category, when drivers like Erickson got a long run than Nasr being clearly better, having drivers like Grosjean, Fisichella, Stroll, Latifi, Giovinazzi for so many seasons or being blinded by just one run like happened with De Vries or even Albon driving against Latifi and a raw rookie like Sargeant with a car being so much better than the individual results.

Ultimately whilst Grosjean is capable of being fast when everything's right his willful ignorance over the consequences of his actions and inability to accept his own shortcomings have been plain for years to seemingly everyone but him. Attempting a spin-turn in the middle of the track on lap 1 at Spain was the absolute signal of a driver who did not think before acting. Mix in that he still insists he did nothing wrong in Spa 2012 (a similar move later causing his nearly life-ending fireball crash) and is now infamous for blaming and trash-talking his car in two disciplines and the picture it paints is of a man who, whilst charismatic, has an ego too fragile to accept or learn from his shortcomings.

The guys at Ziggo (Dutch F1 TV rights holder until 2022) offered some Grosjean insights recently in one of their shows. Apparently, he had a reputation for being somewhat of a selfish dickhead in F1 and not too pleasant as a person to interview. But a big part of that they reckoned also has to do with the way F1 works, where your teammate is your biggest competitor, and being selfish is almost a requirement. It's what made them doubt Grosjean's possible adventure into endurance racing somewhat because that is a sport that really requires you to play the team game with your fellow driver.

To be honest never liked this guy driving style as well too aggressive at the wrong moment and crashing to almost everyone but I wa glad he survived the worst crash I ever saw!

I can’t see how Grosjean can win this one, there has to be a performance clause in his contract, which protects the team from a run of poor performances or crashes, and Grosjean has both this year. He has to be the guy with the most DNF’s this year and most of the time that has been due to crashes. He just hasn’t been good enough to warrant a contract extension.

He simply had a contract including 2024 so Andretti has to pay up. Its that simple.

[@Redlingstein]

Its not abt extension. He had a contract already for 2023 and 2024. Andretti needs to pay his contract if they don’t want him in the car.

[@davewarren4807]

@@Redlingstein not if Andretti didn’t sign on their end. A contract needs to be signed by both parties to become enforceable. As is stated in this video Andretti didn’t sign on their end.
