Grosjean to test Heidfeld’s car in Singapore
He is also a candidate to race Heidfeld’s car later
Romain Grosjean will take a big step towards returning to formula one in September.
Italy’s Autosprint reports that the Swiss-born Frenchman is set to stand in during Friday morning practice in Singapore for Renault’s Nick Heidfeld.
Heidfeld, who is substituting for the injured Robert Kubica this year, also sat out practice in Hungary last month for the team’s Brazilian reserve driver Bruno Senna.
Two weeks before Grosjean’s Singapore outing, the GP2 series will conclude at Monza and the Frenchman is likely to be champion.
Autosprint also said that at Monza and the Spa-Francorchamps round that precedes it, Senna will be back in action to practice on Friday in Heidfeld’s car.
And French media sources, including the Le Journal du Dimanche, say the Eric Boullier-managed Grosjean is a candidate to race Heidfeld’s car number 9 later in 2011.
