Romain Grosjean has been heavily rumored to replace Ryan Hunter-Reay at Andretti Autosport next season. Meanwhile, Dale Coyne, the team owner of the American racing team, hopes that they can retain the former Formula 1 driver, Grosjean, despite Andretti Autosport’s rumors.
“I think he’s happy with us, although I realize lots of people are looking at him right now. We’ve done a good job for him. I think he understands that.” said Dale Coyne in an interview with Autosport.
“We took a chance on him, he took a chance on us, and I think it’s worked out good for both of us and I hope that pays off for both of us in the end and we’re able to keep him next year.”

“Andretti’s team is good, and I understand a driver wanting to go there but I think we’re doing a good job for him, too. He’s been quick everywhere we’ve run him, in qualifying and the race, which shows he’s pretty complete. But you need to have the car to get the job done, and I think he’s helped show that we’re pretty complete.”
Romain Grosjean currently sits P15 in the IndyCar series standings, ten places behind former Alfa Romeo driver, Marcus Ericsson.
