Romain Grosjean turned 33 today. The Haas driver received birthday wishes from his teammate Kevin Magnussen on Twitter. A birthday celebration is always worth a career flashback!

Grosjean dominated the 2005 French Formula championships as a youngster and was picked up by Renault. Going through the ranks, including a GP2 title in 2011, the Frenchman signed for Lotus in his first full season Formula 1.

He qualified third in his first Grand Prix for Lotus but retired the following day. Grosjean has so far scored 381 world championship points, which include his ten podium finishes.

2018 was a bad year for Grosjean who made silly errors in the early stages of the season. Grosjean went on to finish the year in 14th, five places down on his teammate. His bad mistakes include a crash while driving under the safety car in Baku.
