During a recent interview with RACER, Romain Grosjean told Marshall Pruett how he misses IndyCar and is hopeful to get a seat. He said: (via RACER)

“I miss racing IndyCar. There's no doubt about it. I'd like to do more. When I speak to some teams, they say, ‘We need money.’ And I say, ‘Yeah, I'm sorry, that's my job, and when I do my job, I get paid.’”

Grosjean spoke about how his new role as a reserve driver makes him feel like a spare quarterback. He told The Race:

"I'm excited to be involved in the championship. I think it's important to stay on top of what's happening. Of course, you're not driving, but you can see a lot of what's going on and where the series is going and what's happening and I still think that IndyCar has got a big development ahead of itself."

"So, having that in mind being on the sideline for now, the spare quarterback as you would say, and then we're going to be actively working on getting back as a primary quarterback," he added.

After ending his stint with Dale Coyne Racing, Romain Grosjean had joined Andretti Racing but could not yield the expected results, which caused him to move to the Juncos Hollinger Racing team, where he secured six top ten finishes. But this was not enough for him to keep his full-time seat with the team.
