Romain Grosjean is a fan of Adrian Newey. The Haas F1 driver would like to work with Red Bull Racing's top designer once again. That's what the Frenchman says in conversation with the Dutch magazine Formule 1.
When Grosjean is asked about his ideal driver from Formula 1 history, he chooses compatriot and much winner Prost. "I just think Alain. He had a lot of knowledge and a great feeling for - and understanding of - how to get the best out of every situation and make his car as fast as possible", the 34-year-old driver says.
Schumacher, Bianchi, Newey and Dennis
Kevin Magnussen's team mate also said that he would have liked to have contracted Newey as team boss. "The first driver I choose is Jules Bianchi, the other is Michael Schumacher. Adrian Newey will be my designer and Ron Dennis will be the team boss", he explains.
Grosjean isn't yet the team owner of a race stable in Formula 1, but he did set up his own sim racing team in April: R8G Sim Racing Team. Before that, he entered into a partnership with Praga Karts, giving his sim drivers the opportunity to test with the Praga factory team.
