IndyCar: Sacked Grosjean kicks off legal action against Andretti

Romain Grosjean has initiated legal action against Andretti Autosport after he did not sign his 2024 contract from the team in time, and they dropped him.

In a statement released through his social media, the former F1 driver announced the beginning of a legal dispute over his future – taking Andretti to arbitration over their seat choices.

“I enjoyed working with the IndyCar team at Andretti Autosport,” he said.

“I am proud of the successes we shared through two seasons. I am thankful for the many friendships developed at the highest level of American open-wheel racing.

“I had expected to continue racing with the fine people of Andretti Autosport in the coming years.

“I am disappointed that is not being fulfilled, and wish Andretti team members well. I am pursuing other options to continue my IndyCar career in pursuit of excellence.

“I have commenced an arbitration proceeding in Indiana against Andretti Autosport, seeking to protect my rights. I am represented by John Maley and Mark Owens of Barnes & Thornburg, LLP.

“Respectfully, Romain Grosjean.”
