Grosjean closing in on 'mega' deal with Mercedes

It looks as though Romain Grosjean will test in a Mercedes. During a Q&A session the Frenchman revealed an agreement is near.

Romain Grosjean had an abrupt end to his Formula 1 career last year, but it looks like he will soon make an unexpected return with Mercedes. The Frenchman crashed in spectacular fashion at the Bahrain Grand Prix , piercing through the barrier while his car burst into flames. The incident forced Grosjean to miss the final two races of the season. Since then Grosjean has left Formula 1 with Haas bringing in Nikita Mazepin and Mick Schumacher for 2021, with the Frenchman joining IndyCar team Dale Coyne Racing. However during a Q&A organised by the Frenchman, Grosjean revealed he's nearing a deal to drive for Mercedes in a test. "Yes," Grosjean answered when asked if Toto Wolff had offered him a test drive. "I had a fun call with them and we are finalising the plan. I think it will be mega." Check out the full clip below.
