tagged: End of line for Nick Heidfeld ?
Renault boss Eric Boullier believes that Romain Grosjean is ready to be given a second chance in Formula 1, amid mounting speculation that the Frenchman could be drafted in to the Enstone – based team later this year. Grosjean had a troubled start to his F1 career with Renault in 2009, but has rediscovered his confidence and is currently leading the GP2 Series standings. His form has impressed Boullier and, with Nick Heidfeld not delivering all that was expected of him, Renault is understood to be considering giving Grosjean another F1 tryout – and it could even happen after the GP2 campaign finishes in Monza. Boullier believes that Grosjean has what it takes to make a good impression in F1 – but says the team’s future plans are open. Also this Friday Bruno Senna will replace Nick for the first practice that will take place on the Hungaroring circuit.
"He is obviously on my radar, yes," Boullier told AUTOSPORT. "He is doing very well in GP2, he is now showing to everybody he is mature and strong enough to be in F1, and I truly believe he has the potential to be one of the big boys here. "Being very close to him now I can confirm that he is different, and much more mature than two years ago."
