Grosjean about Vettel: "I won't show you the emoji he sent me"

The second Grand Prix in Bahrain will not be held on the regular Grand Prix circuit. It will be held on the short Outer Loop circuit. Romain Grosjean and Sebastian Vettel are not yet convinced about the new addition to the 2020 calendar.

Last week it was announced that the second Grand Prix in Bahrain will not use the normal GP layout of the Bahrain International Circuit. Instead, the Sakhir GP will be held on the Outer Loop. Super fast lap times of less than a minute are expected.

The opinions of the drivers are divided on the layout of the track. Esteban Ocon has called it "awesome", while Haas driver Grosjean is not "completely convinced". Grosjean has already spoken to Vettel, who, like Grosjean, is director of the GPDA. "I won't show you the emoji that he replied with on WhatsApp, Grosjean told Autosport.com.

The GPDA president Alexander Wurz hasn't spoken to Grosjean yet. "I think it wasn't necessarily the best option to try out, but let's see what it's like. We're certainly going to discuss it, but with the back-to-back races, we haven't had time to talk in between."
