Juncos Hollinger Racing (JHR) hopes Romain Grosjean sees that they have a good idea going, and remains beyond the 2024 IndyCar Series season. It's far from ensured right now.
“He is among those individuals from whom one discovers a lot,” group co-owner Ricardo Juncos informed Motorsport.com. “But well, today we do not understand if we will have the ability to continue with him or not.”
“He currently has deals from other locations. There are numerous chauffeurs around, and there are some choices– that are very few yet– with totally free seats for next year.”
Grosjean signed up with JHR throughout the offseason, and through 13 races up until now has actually handled to catch 5 top-10s– the most for JHR because ending up being a full-time group in IndyCar in 2022. Plus the Swiss-born Frenchman notched the group's greatest outcome this year, with a fourth-place surface at Laguna Seca in June.
Amidst the drama surrounding JHR's 2nd seat (which resulted in a current switch from Agustin Canapino to Conor Daly for the remainder of the season), Juncos has actually been grateful for the stability and professionalism Grosjean supplies.

“Grosjean is a chauffeur who brings a lot, a great deal of experience,” Juncos stated. “This year has actually been great to deal with him. The reality is that he sets the bar high. He is easy, with a great deal of character. He puts it in black and white, as I like. He is really caring with individuals, particularly with the mechanics. It is as if the group is not divided.
“Beyond the truth that the outcomes do not come often, interaction is extremely crucial and it is extremely essential that the entire group comprehends what occurred: if it was a tire issue, if it was an engine issue, if it was a technique issue, if it was the motorist who slipped up, if it was the automobile that did not work, or if the set-up was not right.”
Connection is something Juncos would enjoy to bring into 2025– particularly when it includes Grosjean's deep experience, that includes 179 Formula 1 begins before he signed up with IndyCar in 2021.
“Yes, I believe he is really delighted with the group in basic, with whatever he states,” stated Juncos.
“I hope that we can in some way continue due to the fact that I constantly think that long-lasting programs are the ones that will carry out best, as long as one can continue.”
