ROMAIN GROSJEAN will make an emotional return to Formula One seven months to the day after his horrifying fireball crash in Bahrain. An offer came from world champions Mercedes and, on Wednesday, Grosjean’s return was confirmed. Grosjean said: “I am so excited to jump back in an F1 car!. “It will be a special opportunity for me and to drive a World Championship-winning Mercedes will be a unique experience. “I’m very grateful to Mercedes F1 and to Toto for the opportunity. “F1 didn’t get the chance to race in France during 2020 because of Covid so driving a Mercedes at the French Grand Prix in 2021 and then completing a test at the Circuit Paul Ricard, my home track, will be so special.
