Romain Grosjean will make an announcement on Wednesday afternoon, he has revealed on his Twitter account. There are plenty of rumors about the content of this announcement, but it is likely to involve a move to America.

Romain Grosjean has had a wonderful career in Formula 1. The Frenchman never won a race, but was on the podium ten times with Lotus. His huge crash at the Bahrain Grand Prix was not a fitting end to his career, but Grosjean is certainly not stopping racing just yet.

Grosjean to America

Formula 1 is a thing of the past, however, and while there was talk after his crash that Grosjean was considering a move to America, that now seems to be the outcome of his talks. According to RACER, Grosjean will announce on Wednesday that he will race for Dale Coyne Racing in the IndyCar Championship in 2021.

Grosjean will race for that team, along with Ed Jones, Charlies Kimball, and his replacement at Haas for the last two races: Pietro Fittipaldi. It remains to be seen whether Grosjean will run a full season in IndyCar. We will know more on Wednesday afternoon.
