Romain Grosjean racing in GP2 with Barwa Addax Team

The third Renault driver, with a promising future, will simultaneously compete in the 2009 GP2 Series championship with the 2008 champion team, Barwa Addax Team.

It is within this team that Romain Grosjean will begin his second season in the GP2 Series. This year, he will team up with Russian Vitaly Petrov.

The motivation of the young French driver is intact: to win the championship title after a first season.

2008 ended with a convincing 4th place and a GP2 Asia Series champion title.

« I am very happy to join Barwa Addax Team this season. Driving for the GP2 Series champion team

2008 is a tremendous challenge and we want to set the bar very high right from the start of the season. The team’s welcome was warm; all the conditions are in place to achieve great things together!

I will compete in the GP2 Series championship alongside my duties as third driver for Renault. My priority will be to win the championship and, despite a busy schedule, I think with a little bit of organization, we will manage to combine everything without any problems, he concluded.

The GP2 Series season will begin in Barcelona, Spain, on May 9 and 10, 2009.
