Red alert for Romain Grosjean as Juncos Hollinger sign 23-year-old American driver

Romain Grosjean's IndyCar future hangs by a thread despite an impressive campaign last season. The former F1 superstar is without a confirmed drive for next season, and his team last year has just announced Sting Ray Robb as their driver for next season. The 23-year-old driver from Boise drove for AJ Foyt's #41 Dallara-Chevrolet last season.

The youngster's move to Juncos Hollinger means that there are currently only two vacant seats left for next season. That leaves the Frenchman's future highly uncertain despite winning six top-10s for his team last season.

Sting Ray Robb said about the move:

“To be sought out by leaders like Ricardo Juncos and Brad Hollinger and a team as driven as JHR means the world to me. We share a vision for what we can achieve together, and I’m honored to contribute to JHR’s continued growth, as I also grow as their driver. Excited to see what we accomplish together with our ambition and the ‘power of possibility!'”

The American finished 23rd in points standings in his rookie year. He followed it up with a 20th-placed finish in his sophomore year. Juncos said about the move:

“Sting Ray is an exciting talent, and we’ve had the privilege of seeing his growth as a driver first-hand during our championship run in Indy Pro,"

He also added that it's more of a reunion with Robb and is excited to make this season a breakthrough one for him. Whether Sting Ray will drive Romain Grosjean's car or not remains to be seen as no information has been released by the team yet.

What's next for Romain Grosjean? Is the former F1 star's tenure in America coming to an end?

Romain Grosjean didn't waste time after his F1 exit from Haas. The French driver joined Dale Coyne Racing in his rookie year in IndyCar. Co-incidentally, it's the only other team with a vacant spot for the 2025 season.

The former F1 driver recently also attacked IndyCar for his current situation. He blamed their "horrendous marketing" that has put him in a tough spot with sponsors. Grosjean said (quotes by Racer.com)

"I think last year was probably one of my best seasons, and I may end up not being in the grid next year, just because the marketing has been horrendous for IndyCar, the hybrid has brought the costs to a level that’s unbearable for teams, and that’s the way it is."

Romain Grosjean finished 17th in the standings last season with one top-5 finish and six top-10s. However, it has not proved enough for the ex-Haas driver to keep his spot in the sport. Will the 38-year-old Geneva-born driver find a ride for 2025?
