The future of Romain Grosjean? - Page 2 - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

With Grosjean driving now in GT1 championship, I couldn't resist bumping this thread. Seeing, how Alguersuari and Liuzzi have been much better this season than last year after being thrown in mid-season, I'm certain the former French GP2 frontrunner is worth to be given another shot in F1, especially considering, how many former GP2 drivers we are currently seeing in F1. But it's difficult to climb into F1 from GT championship - has anyone besides Zonta done it?

Wasn't Webbo a FIA GT racer?

Actually he was for a short time, but he jumped into F1 from F3000, so I view that as a bit of a different case.

That was when FIA GT was more presitigous, money was flying around and was paid good money driving for Mercedes.

i'm pretty sure a certain Mr Schumacher had a decent sportscar career before F1. Allan McNish came through that way after a previously promising junior single seater career stopped short of F1.

it is possible, and i'd think a few people are still watching Grosjean - Hulkenburg, Petrov, Alguesari are all showing that with a bit of testing and a half decent car they can show well, Grosjean surely deserves another chance, i'd put him easily equal to those 3

Again that was when endurance racing was more 'prestigous'.

Who cares about FIA GTs in the past decade after the 'old' GT-1 nee prototype cars were outlawed?
