Grosjean attacks British media after facing backlash

Romain Grosjean claims he is not liked because he is French. He has faced plenty of backlash in the media over his two mistakes in the last two races. 

In Baku, he crashed into the wall whilst driving under the safety car. The Haas driver then spun at the start of the Spanish Grand Prix, only to leave his foot on the throttle causing him to plough back across the track. 

In his latest interview with motorsport-magazine.com, a German outlet, he slams the media.

“I’ve made a mistake, mistakes happen to everyone,” said Grosjean. 

“I’m sure if you write an article, you sometimes make mistakes, typos and then people check you for them. The thing is, if you do it before, nobody will see it because you corrected it.

“When I brake and I turn behind the safety car, because the rear wheels are blocking because the damn tyres are cold and hard - everyone says something like that quickly.” 

After ranting about the media, he went on to attack the British press individually suggesting the media don’t like Grosjean because he is French. 

“Know that the British press doesn’t like me very much, maybe because I’m French,” added Grosjean. 

Monaco won’t be an easy way to regain his confidence due to the close proximity of the walls. We’ll see how well he does!
