Romain Grosjean willing to wait for Ferrari

Romain Grosjean has said that he is more than happy to drive another year for the Haas F1 team if it means an increased chance at a permanent Ferrari seat in the future. 

The Frenchman has re-shaped his reputation after a disastrous 2012 season and is now longing to take a seat at the coveted Ferrari team. Grosjean left Lotus at the end of 2015 to join newcomers Haas which is heavily linked with Ferrari technically.

He was hoping for a Ferrari seat for 2017 but will now have to bide his time and wait for a 2018 opportunity to come knocking on his door.

“I'm sure there's a reason behind the decision [to keep Raikkonen],” Grosjean said. “With the new regulations, big changes, you kind of want to keep the same driver line-up.

"On the other hand, I am pretty happy here. We are doing a great job and I really want to put Haas on the podium at one point. There's some work to do to achieve that, but who knows? Everything is possible.”
