Romain sets sights on the highlife

40

Following up yesterday's visit to Lewis Hamilton staring soulfully into the middle distance while travelling on the New York City subway system, our occasional series of 'what Formula One drivers get up to on weekends away from Grand Prix racing' today turns to Haas F1 Team's Romain Grosjean.

The 29-year-old has already exceeded expectations with his new team by starting the season with back-to-back points finishes, and he's obviously aiming high for the rest of the year. Without a Grand Prix to focus on he's clearly left climbing the walls, and he has quite the head for heights from the look of it.

Romain's also been posting about his training runs through the Paris suburb, and attending the Haas Automation booth at Industrie Paris 2016 representing his team and main sponsor, before turning his attentions to the next flyaway race in Shanghai next weekend.

"Fun moment finishing a hard training week," he writes. "Now weekend with the family. Then off to the #ChineseGP."
