The Frenchman gives his thoughts on Esports
For many traditional drivers, Esports isn’t something they have thought a lot about. However, seeing how expensive karting and the junior Formula series are getting, Grosjean has changed his mind about Esports.
Speaking to Nathan Quinn from The Race, the former Haas driver said, “I got in touch with Triple A to help me manage the structure because I was very, very excited about joining Esports but also I didn’t have much knowledge.

“Initially it was quite complicated to know exactly where to go, how to find drivers and what to do. Then we want to have some opportunities where they can come to races, we can meet and do some stuff together, go go-karting together. So really I want to be involved and if we can find the next talent via Esports we will give it a go.

“Go-karting, Formula 4 are very, very expensive and it’s very complicated to start a racing career if you don’t have the right funds. So really what I want to achieve is to see if there’s a chance that we can find drivers that have the level to go racing via Esports and putting them into real racing and see if we can find the next talents for the next generation,” he concluded.
